Over the Top

We must be a mean set of Mommy and Daddy; we restrict our daughter's play area.

Since our living room is fairly large, we usually will block off a safe play area with an ottoman barricade. Elaina pouts the minute she sees the ottoman begin to move into the "blocked in" position. We've tried to be slick about it, but she is pretty receptive as if the barricade sucks all of the oxygen out of her space as well.

So, what does Little Miss Independent do ? She dives over the top into a head stand and slithers out of trenches of mommy's silly "play area" to escape to her freedom. Just for the record, Mommy always has a way of catching up with her every last time !

Elaina : 3
Mommy : 333 ( and counting)
