Little Dude = Velociraptor

So it's become apparent that Paxton has many qualities that made the velociraptor so useful in Jurassic Park (and raised the question of why anyone would recreate a previously little-known dinosaur that can easily enter human-size buildings, turn doorknobs, terrorize children, unless one had future movie rights in mind).
I put the boy in his exersaucer the other day, in the kitchen, and he managed to reach beyond its confines, open a drawer, pull out a box of plastic wrap, and tightly seal a bowl of guacamole. (Ok, he didn't do that last part, but he did have the plastic wrap out).

Ray Romano, who isn't really my source on great stand-up, had a good bit on the old Dr. Katz show about having twin boys. He said imagine having someone there egging you on to do all those things you know you shouldn't: "Go on, you can jump from there. You can totally make that." Paxton just listens to his inner Little Dude sometimes, and therefore all hazardous chemicals are stored out of reach -- until he figures out how to climb walls ... coming soon: Spiderbaby.
