i'm sure this is an conundrum that every new parent has to deal with, but i still can't help wonder what on makes the forbidden such an attractive object of interest.
ever since odin mastered the art of crawling and climbing we've discovered that one thing holds odin's interest more than any other.
a simple potted plant.
of course, each time we try to convince him that climbing up the side of the pot and eating leaves is probably not a good thing, he redoubles his efforts to get a taste of the forbidden foliage.
hopefully this is not a harbinger of future struggles :-)
i should probably note that no foliage was actually eaten during the shooting of this photograph.
I know you have been through so much already, but...Welcome, you have now "really" entered into parenthood! (this is the part where you get to teach them right...from...wrong!) LOL
Good Luck! :o)

PS: ours was not the plant...it was the vertical blinds!

, atSee, the problem is that you are trying to stop him! Put it in the middle of the floor and go "Odin! Look at the PLANT! Let's play with the PLANT! Yum! A PLANT!" He won't want to touch it then. LoL. ;)
“"it is hard to be brave," said piglet, sniffing slightly, "when you're only a Very Small Animal." rabbit, who had begun to write very busily, looked up and said: "it is because you are a very small animal that you will be Useful in the adventure before us."”
the complete tales & poems of winnie the poohthis site chronicles the continuing adventures of my son, odin, who was unexpectedly born on the fourth of july at 25 weeks gestation, weighing 1 pound 7 ounces.
he's quite a fighter and you can always send him a postcard to the most current address listed here if you're inspired by his adventures. see the postcard project/google maps mashup to see a map of the postcards.
if you're new, you can browse the archives to catch up. and don't forget to watch a few movies that i made while we were in the neonatal intensive care unit. or if you want the abridged version and you can find a copy, you can read about his adventures in the november 2005 issue of parents magazine.
