Mr. Mischief Maker

I was warned. By lots of people. Boy are trouble. They make messes. I didn't believe them. No, not my sweet precious baby boy. He would never cause trouble. He's an angel. He's so quiet, and sweet, and mellow. I have a calm baby boy. You people must be wrong, I would think.

I am eating my words. I was completely wrong (and I don't admit that very often either)!

This baby boy of mine is a handful! Here are a few of his most recent antics just since school started....(I only have a few pictures.....he keeps me too busy to grab the camera most times.

• Dumped an entire box of cereal on the floor, and then sat and jumped in it.....twice!








• Completely dismantled Jeremy's electric razor (the battery was dead, and it also wasn't plugged in, so no worries about shaving himself).
  
  


• Scribbled all over my wood floor with a Sharpie marker. I think I am going to invest in magic eraser stock.
• He opened two Capri Sun's by himself and then was fascinated by the squirting liquid through that tiny little straw.
  
  
  


• He drank, yes I just said drank, the pancake syrup from the bottle. And I mean he guzzled that stuff......nasty! (this has happened twice by the way......I think this kid likes sugar in all forms)
• He poured half a gallon of milk on the floor trying to pour himself a cup to drink. I had already gotten him a sippy cup with milk, but apparently he wanted to get his own drink.
• He crawls out of his crib all the time! My girls never did this......guess it's time for a big boy bed. He has always been my best sleeper, but climbing in and out of the crib is just too much temptation for him.
• He cut his shirt with a pizza cutter. He got it out of the dishwasher. In my defense, I do keep knives and sharp objects as high as I can, but he still manages to find things.
• He dumped an entire brand new bottle of shampoo out in his bathtub.
• He is fluent in the words don't, no, and stop mom.

And this is just the beginning. You may be thinking that I just let him run around unobserved all day. But the truth is that almost every single one of these things happens in less than a minute. Trouble usually follows when I do things like switch the laundry, go to the bathroom, do the dishes, or most frequently he makes a mess while I clean up a different mess.

Good thing I love him so much. And, he still makes my heart melt with his hugs and slobbery kisses. And, believe it or not, I still think he's a sweet and perfect baby boy!
