Good milestone: Eating his food by himself with a fork and/or spoon.
Bad milestone: Being able to reach the forks and spoons in the drawer and throwing them all over the kitchen floor.
Good milestone: Reaching for a toy and being tall enough to grab it without whining for me.
Bad milestone: Reaching for the light switch and being tall enough to turn it on...and off...and on...and off...
Good milestone: The ability to climb on his own up the ladder to the play set.
Bad milestone: The ability to climb on his own to the top of Caleb's bunk bed...and then jumping on that top bunk.
Good milestone: Drinking out of a small cup with help.
Bad milestone: Drinking out of any cup and then spitting it all over the floor...just for fun.
Good milestone: Helping mommy by closing the door behind him when we leave my bedroom.
Bad milestone: Being able to open that door anyway.
I take it all in stride, the good and the bad. Sometimes I just have to stop and smile. I know he's just exploring his world!

Feeling for you, but laughing at you at the same time. lol
Your mom is beautiful!
These made me chuckle. While I don't have children of my own, I have 4 nephews and have seen my sisters go through all of these!

LOL Those bring back a lot of memories.
Glad you joined in the fun at Friendly Friday! :)
LOL! Visiting from NFF at Trendy Treehouse! I can totally relate....our #3 (girl after 2 boys) just turned 21 months too!!!
Love this post! What a great idea! You're right, with the good comes the bad. But in the long run, they are all cherished memories that give us a good laugh looking back. My Gavin at 13 months old was just discovered in his brothers' room on the top of the bunk bed ladder the other day. Completely frightening sight, but something I later will look back on and laugh about...as long as he lives through it. Ha! :)
Just over from Friendly Friday. I have 4 children and have learned (by the grace of God) that even the "bad milestones" are blessings b/c they show normal development.
Enjoy this precious time...it goes faster than I can say.
Blessings,
Alison
