Patience

Milo doesn't understand the word, "No." He thinks it means, "Keep on doing what you're doing, and be sure to turn around and smirk at your Mama when you're doing it." It doesn't seem to matter if he's doing something annoying or dangerous, the response to, "No," is always the same. And what can I do? He doesn't talk, so I can't get a response out of him. I try reasoning, but really, he's 14 months old and probably doesn't get reasoning yet.

So all I can do is be patient and hope that someday he gets why he cannot climb on the somewhat flimsy play table. I mean, if he doesn't figure it out by listening to me ("It's not going to support your weight.") then he's going to figure it out "The Hard Way."

It's taken me over 6 hours to get a lifeline threaded 4 rows back, and then to get the stitches onto some US 1 and 2 needles. Now I'll need to move everything over to my US 4. Then I can start knitting in the hopes that I haven't accidentally dropped a stitch.

Patience.
