After our meals I roll Elijah and his highchair to the sink, wipe off his hands and face, and remove his tray and bib. Then I take him out of his chair and he and I push his chair into the corner. He usually then proceeds to play with the buckles on the chair and stand on the bar between the legs (2 inches off the ground), while I clean his tray and bib.
Today after lunch I'm talking to him and cleaning the tray as he's playing with the buckles, and then I glance over and see that he is not standing on the bar between the legs of the chair. No, he is standing on the footrest of his chair (2 feet off the ground!) and climbing INTO his high chair seat! What?!? I thought I had seen it all with our little monkey. I immediately said, "No!" (okay, I yelled) and took him down, and I think I scared him - he turned around and ran away from his highchair. Once again I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Elijah is constantly surprising me with how strong, inventive, and fearless he is. And I imagine he's keeping his guardian angel on their toes too. :)

Sounds like you are officially entered into the world of toddlerhood, getting into everything. Allison figured out how to climb into her highchair a couple of weeks ago, and you're exactly right...SCARY! You never know if there going to fall backward.
