As if I don't have enough to do! I'll NEVER get all this stuff put away!
Yesterday, the youngest of the munchkins got a hold of, not 1, but 4 cans of shaving cream. (These were the little ones I got free from Walgreens) He managed to cover the floor of the back porch with it!
Next, he found the eggshells I had set aside to put on the compost pile and crushed them into the kitchen carpet!
Last, but definately not least, just when I thought it was safe, he smacked the front of our 55 gallon aquarium with a bottle of Tobasco Sauce and cracked it from end to end! The water was pouring out and running right into the basement!
And then, the little dork, grins and laughs at you when you swat his butt! Arghhhh! What am I going to do with this one?

Oh my Karen, sounds like you had quite a day. Lots of messes to clean up. Yes, he is defintitely in the toddler stage. Turn your back and you got a mess. Hugs to you..and ya know my little guy (soon to be 33) could try my patience like that ...always laughed too.
Very frustrating.. Course when he would laugh like that then I couldn't be upset with him. Guess he got my number eh? I use to tell him that the girls would drive me to the edge but then they would stop. That little stinker would drive me over the edge and right before I would hit bottom he would laugh and grab me and pull me back..
Consistency is the only answer I have..if that is an answer. Hang in there..soon that toddler of your's will be heading off to school..(if that's a consolation)

We were considering a good Military School, until yesterday. Now we are looking for a BAD Military School, lol! Just kidding.
Kim said her ds Trevor was like that too, and he turned out OK.

I have a photo of my eldest with lanolin all through his hair. Now he is a lovely quiet near adult.

Sounds like a typical boy! I had to laugh, I'm sorry, Karen. But your post surely brought back some memories for me. Our oldest was fascinated by comet.....if there was a can within a mile, he'd find it....
The middle one lived to terrorize me, I think. Like the time he got in my craft paint and painted the back door mauve.....and then hid from me in the dryer!!!!! What was really bad was when they would conspire together to get into mischief....oh those were the days.
Now our little guy had a fondness for the road.....he would sprint to the road like a rabbit...wearing nothing but a diaper....he even unlocked the back door one night and I found him standing on the back porch gazing at the stars at 2 years old!!!! I nearly lost what little sanity I had. It's hysterically funny now, but wasn't back then.
Just take lots of photos and you can use those as blackmail when they start to date....lol
