(okay ... so this post was written AGES ago, and then i saved it and never posted it -- along with 18 others, so i'm going to be posting older pictures. you're just going to have to deal with it!) so we've been using our piano bench as a baricade keeping aidan from going down the hall. well ... he learned how to push that out of the way, so we tried putting a chair behind it to anchor it. it worked for awhile until aidan learned he could do this.




(oh and this last picture cracks me up, when i tell aidan to "smile" for pictures he smiles and cocks his head to the side, that is why i have so many pictures of him with his head like that! he's soooo silly!)
...
so we upgraded to 2 chairs, which now works better. someday i'll convice robby to just re-hang the door back on the hinges.

(we just put up a gate last week, and aidan would have just been able to pull it down, so robby screwed it into the door frame! i wish he would have just hung the door like i've asked him to a million times!! oh well)
