Joash is such a performer. How so? I have to start from the beginning.
Ever since he knew how to climb up the bed, there is no longer any sanctuary in the house where I could eat my meal and use my computer in peace. At first, he did not know how to get down from the bed after climbing up and I had to rescue him countless times in the day. Incredibly tiring, I tell you... So I shifted everything that was a temptation for him to climb up. He still gets a kick out of doing so occasionally even when there's nothing interesting there for him anymore.
So I thought: "Maybe, if I teach him how to get down on his own, he'll not need my help." After a week of training, Joash quickly mastered the art of climbing down the bed, or sofa for that matter, by himself.
But you know what? He will still call for me whenever he gets up there. I'll abandon my chores and go to him, asking, "What's wrong, Joash? Don't you know how to get down by yourself?" He'll then simply flash me a mischievous grin and make his way down without my help. Naughty little chipmunk... He just wants me around to witness his stunts!
