Alejandro's first sizable mess.

Alejandro is getting around really well in his little walker. He does laps around the kitchen. It's really cute.
The problem is that he really likes the metal rack of plants that mom has next to the scary cactus. Everytime he goes by the rack he stops and reaches out to grab it. We've gotten to putting a chair and the stool in front of it so he can't reach it, but sometimes they get put away at night so we have to remember to put them back...
So the other day Ale was going around in his walker and I noticed that he had gotten close to the rack but was quickly finishing typing something to Edy online. I was going to go get him in a second. He wouldn't have time to grab the rack... CRASH!!!
I dont know how he did it so fast, but he pulled the rack right over. My first concern was him, but he was fine. Everything fell kind of behind him. Luckily we'd already moved the aloe plant off of the rack from when Ale was shewing on a piece of it one day and I read online that it was poisonous. (Turns out you have to eat a lot of it for it to be harmful, but I still dont like the idea of him chewing on it) There were only a few plants on the rack, but it still made a decent mess. It was a pretty busy day with lots of stuff to do so at first I was a little frustrated. I was also worried that Mom would be mad because one of the plants got busted up a bit and another of the pots got a little broken, but my frustration quickly changed to amusement and I decided to document this first mess.




By the way, Mom wasn't mad at all.
