Here's a new one ...

Last night Tony and I were sitting at the dinner table, starting our meal. We opt not to force John to start dinner with us if he isn't ready, since it's a battle to keep him in the chair even if he is ready. He usually joins us a few minutes after we sit down anyway. This time, he comes into the kitchen with the shade from the lamp on my nightstand. We didn't really question him about it. Just put it out of his reach and proceeded with dinner. Thankfully, he didn't break the bulb or the lamp itself in this process. And the shade is fine, despite a trip downstairs. It's still a mystery why he did it, though. I don't think he's ever even seen us take a shade off to change a light bulb! It's always something new...

Here's the boy:
