Games

In addition to Taz-like antics, Ace likes to:

Move things.
Any things. Big things. Little things. Just so long as they move from one place to another. Blankets out of the crib. Animals out of the crib. Laundry out of the basket behind Daddy's desk. Laundry basket to the couch. Shoes from the closet to the living room. Stool from the bathroom to the kitchen. Socks from the third drawer to the fourth.

Go up.
Up on the chair, up to the ottoman, up to the couch. Up on the box to play with the lightswitch. Up on the stool to see on the counter. Often, this requires moving something, like a stool, which is a double-bonus.

Put smaller things into bigger things.
Toys into buckets. Blocks into bowls. Finger puppets into shoes.
The best one was the other day when I put him on the stepstool to watch Daddy make a salad. Daddy cut the vegetables and showed Ace how to put them into the bowl. While he was making the salad, Daddy got himself a beer, and put a lime wedge in it, then did the same for me. Ace wanted the lime, and Daddy expected it to go into the salad. Nope. It had to go into the beer bottle.
