Showdown at the MM Corral
I could use several paragraphs to describe what it is like to babysit my son. It is much easier if I just sum it up for you.
Max is mobile.
Max is quick.
Max does not sit still unless he is asleep (even then he squirms a little).
Shannon and I have resorted to what we call the MM Corral. The MM Corral consists of strategically placed couches, loveseats, ottomans and footrests. Like coaches describing an NFL running back, “We can’t stop him…we only hope to contain him.”
The truth is, it works like a charm. We can spend Saturday afternoons playing with Max instead of chasing him.
We should enjoy it while it lasts. It won’t be long before he will figure out how to get out and then we better lace up the running shoes.

Well, I can see Max has mastered pulling and standing up. I couldn't really see him crawl as he seemed too interested in the video camera and carrying on a most fascinating conversation. He is going to walk very soon, then watch out. You certainly will need a corral to contain him then. At least one tall enough he can't get over. Love Aunt Donna
Well, you could always get a herding dog to keep him corraled! lol Mom said when Shannon was a baby, Charlie Brown (a dog) used to herd her away from the road when she was outside. Said she used to get mad too. :)

That's a great video. You are right about time slipping by. Wait until you realize they can outrun you......while they are running backwards.....and you realize they really aren't trying....
