My Little Terrors {3rd edition}

I wonder what's going through their head when they do these crazy things...

 

"these toys are way better!"

"perfect hiding spot for my marine"

"church is the perfect place for a wrestling match!"

"what are these plastic bags doing here!?"

"look mom! we decorated that boring wall!"

Lincoln - "success! I carried it out of the dish washer all by myself!"
Ella - "ooh. this looks fun."

"we play like rock stars!"

"let's mix the rice and oatmeal together to make it easier for mom next time she cooks it."

"what is this thing for anyway?!"

Ella - "how did he do that?!"

"I just need a spot to rest for a minute before i destroy something else."

"I'm just sharing with my cars"

   

these are just some of the things that keep me busy during the day, every day...

  

long day...

                                                                                                         ...good night.       

 

when the house is quiet...

 

 

My Little Terrors {2nd edition}

I just finished cleaning up the whole living room and as I'm cleaning the kitchen there was silence... this was going on!

"that's enough crying na-na."

I took out the trash and when I came back to put in a new bag this is what I found in there.

I was fixing breakfast and stepped out to get my crying Ella... Lincoln managed to find away to reach the counter tops.

"I just wanted one sprinkle."

"where did my play mat go?"

throwing out all of the toys isn't enough...

and he recruited some help



I don't even know how he  got into this mess.

she started screaming for me because she got stuck

at least he'll be warm for his nap

I found a surprise in water

and she found a way to climb up the table.

she's pinning Lincoln down and trying to steal his cup.

he knows how to use mascara...

 

My Little Terror

I could go on and on about the things my little busy Lincoln gets into. He finds a way to make something that isn't dangerous, very dangerous. To say he keeps me on my toes is definitely an understatement!

 

• I'm always pulling things out of the trash that don't belong... and he's always pulling trash out!
• when I try to shower, I let him wander in and out of the bathroom and my bedroom (they're connected). One time he got to the box of Q-tips and they were dumped ALL over the floor.
• Lets not forget the endless amount of times I re-roll to toilet paper after he has unrolled it.
• I can always count on having to pull something very unexpected out of the toilet!
• he goes up stairs just to find things to throw down the stairs. and if he sees me coming he runs and hides in the closet or some other random spot .
• he finds the tightest little space and some how manages to squeeze in and he usually gets stuck...that's the only way I find him is by hearing his scream for help.
• Then there are the outlets that he constantly messes with. Outlet covers don't even stop him! He knows how to take them off and he even put the whole thing in his mouth before and it got stuck!
• he climbs onto absolutely EVERYTHING! One time as I was doing the dishes, I peeked over into the living/dining room and he was standing on top of the table dancing!
• he's always trying to put things into Ella's mouth. One time I caught him digging his finger into her eye! Poor little girl, she was just looking at him like "what are you doing..." I ran to pick her up and that's when the pain kicked in and she started crying.
• I have to stop him from sitting on her...once, it was like she was his couch, and she didn't even seem to mind at all!

 ...just to list a few The only baby proofing that would keep him out of trouble would be to lock him in a cage... and since that's out of the question, I guess I'm just going to have to realize that I'll have my hands full with him for a while! He owes me a lot more hugs and kisses... it's the only thing that makes it all worth it.     

 

 

"Cage"

Every morning I put Lincoln in his "cage" with some toys while I shower and get ready... or sleep in a little more. He screams every time I put him in, but then he finds something to entertain him for a moment. This is the second time I caught him "reading" his book. It's the cutest thing. He lays on his stomach with his ankles crossed and stares at his book so intensely.

Then once he notices I'm around and watching....

"Mommy! Get me out of here!"

...he whines for me to take him out.

 Since I was just laughing...

"Ahhhhh!"

...he started being silly and yelling at me.

So I finally put him in our bed to take his morning nap.

 ...and now he's a happy little guy ready to get into more trouble!

The Joys of Motherhood

You will not believe what happened to me this morning! I was changing Lincoln's diaper on our bed... nasty diarrhea poop! I kept gagging and gagging and I finally threw up but I was holding it in my mouth because I didn't know where to go and I didn't want to leave him on the bed. Then I threw up again so it had to come out! I reached for the container on my nightstand that holds his bottles, and medications, and pacifiers and threw up in there while I'm holding on to one of his feet and he's trying to crawl away wiping his poopy butt everywhere. I wipe him up a little more and put him on the floor diaper less while I continue vomiting and cleaning up my vomit. Then he pees a huge puddle in the bathroom area by my vanity. I keep moving him away from it while I wash the container and his pacifiers. He found his puddle of pee and now he's playing in it! Okay, bath time!! I'm taking off his pee drenched shirt and hair that got stuck on his wiener from the floor. Now he's smiling at me enjoying his bath. (Oh and this is bath #2 because bath 1 got dirty fast!) What a way to start the day!
