Why You Pushin' Me Around?

One of Elliot's favorite activities of late is directing his parents where to go.  This doesn't simply include whining or screaming at us until we figure out what he wants, which it often does, given his limited vocabulary.  Instead, he has discovered the art of physically directing us where he wants us to go.  For me, it usually means he wants to nurse, so he starts pushing and pulling me to a chair and then climbs in my lap.  He's actually pretty amazing at steering.  Not only does he get me right in front of the chair, but he turns me around so I'm in just the right position to sit down. 

Unfortunately, this expertise also extends to chairs, so he is on top of the table pretty regularly after pushing a chair close enough to climb on top.  He also uses this strategy to retrieve things from the counter and to try to look out the window.
