My Baby Climber

Vivian is a wild one.  Today as I made lunch, she disappeared from the living room where the children were quietly watching a nature show on a HOT day.  I began my search, and I couldn't find her.  I looked behind the rocker in her room.  I checked on Robbie's side of the closet, down where his pants hang.  I pulled aside the shower curtain, and on I looked.  Finally, I heard a faint answer, but I still could not figure out where she was in the house.  Olivia found her in the unfinished part of our basement.  She was back in the storage area where we have broken down boxes for our next move and where we save boxes to ship packages.  She climbed five feet off the ground onto suspended wooden shelving units that Robbie built for storage.  She even manged to get her sippy cup and a toy puppy bank onto the shelf with her.  She looked so proud of herself up there high off the basement floor like a big shot6.  She peeked out through the side of the shelf with an enormous smile.  What next?!
