My Aching Back

Today I pulled and hurt something in my back. I was lifting Jonah (the lightest of our three kids) into his Bumbo seat and my back gave out. It is amazing how much I must use my back muscles during a typical day. I had NO idea!!!! I practically had to teach Wyatt how to climb out of his crib in order to pick him up after his afternoon nap today. I said "ok, now put your leg up there like that and sit on the edge for a second then slither down the outside of the crib until you hit the floor like that. Good job!" The best part is that all that it takes for Wyatt to learn how to do something is one time watching someone do it. I am sure that tomorrow John and I will wake up to Wyatt climbing under the covers with us in bed....or better yet to him running the vacuum first thing in the morning after removing the vacuum bag while having started a load of candles and cd's in the washing machine and hitting the panic button on both sets of car keys. (Yes, all of those things have actually happened, but not at the same time during the day.....yet!) Lucky for us, I think that Wyatt may have a little protege in Jonah. Jonah has the same insatiable curiosity as his big brother, but is much better at getting around and has incredible dexterity and patience. Maybe the two of them can team up and build me something to fix my back!
