And I am always on the lookout for dead creatures in the road to show to DS.
Lol!
Yes our dd is the same way; literally two days after I read about Austin's ds getting out the car seat on this forum, our dd decided this is her new favorite trick. I had to pull over at the firestation and tell her I was going to have the fireman tell her why this is bad. She got back in but it has repeated; I am taking a step back and putting her in a more baby-type seat now.
She is constantly finding new things like that to drive me crazy with and I am having trouble finding games which are amusing to her.
She wants to do most things on her own, including brushing teeth so that is a big drag when I know she won't really get it quite right. Otoh, she has gotten really good at a lot of things.
She is not a listener unfortunately; not a sitter; not a hands-off learner.
I too used a harness with ds when I would go through airports where I needed to be able to think about something other than him. He asked me if he ever got out of the carseat and I said not that I remembered, but he was really, really, really, really reeeaaaallly a handful. I remember people asking about how our living room was set up when he was 1-ish; it was decorated kind of 'early fort knox'.
