Testing times

Jemima and Elspeth are testing their parents as only infants and babies can. Elspeth's new word appears to be "No" and it appears that she is attempting to break the world record for the most recitations in a small time span... annoying - I should say so!
Jemima is a crawling scaling machine, anything and everything within 15 inches of ground level is fair game, we never needed cupboard guards or stair gates with Elspeth, although I'm sure that she thought she could scale stairs, root around in cupboards and base jump of beds and tables she never tried once she was told once in a stern but friendly tone "No". Elspeth was content to sit or shuffle around on her bottom chatting to herself or playing with her toys.... ummm maybe "No" is coming back to haunt me.
Jemima, seeming to have not a care for her own personal safety, keeps trying - personally I thing she's an adrenaline junkie. When told by either myself or Sarah "No", she simply turns and smiles at us and then shakes her head... occasionally supplementing the head shake blowing a raspberry.
