Keeping me on my toes

Eli has a very self-sufficient attitude about him, and that self-sufficiency is keeping me on my toes!  He regularly tries to rummage through the garbage to find himself some sort of half-eaten morsel that he can quickly devour without me noticing.  Or, he'll open the semi-full dishwasher with dirty dishes, find himself a cup, and get water out of the fridge.  About a month ago he started kicking it up a notch:

As grateful as I am for his willingness to do things himself, I've gotta keep my eye on this one at all times!  Love this kid!!
