A new kind of disobedience

I couldn't believe what I was seeing.  Nate was standing up next to the counter and his head was just about to poke over the top, which was quite remarkable, considering he's not even 11 months old.  

We purchased a case of diet soda from Costco - in an appropriately Costco-sized case.   It was sitting next to the counter, and Nate climbed onto it, and then stood up with a little help from the counter.   He had done this before by way of the dishwasher door, but was always stopped before he could reach his feet.  

It's like we have begun to see a new kind of disobedience.   I don't think he's going to cry about little issues (who turns off the light, broken bananas, etc), but will never stop moving or climbing.   He'll be mischievous rather than emotional - movement rather than statements.  Where Lily's rebellion was emotional and tears, Nate's rebellion will be by action......boundless, non-stop, unrelenting action.
