Every Nap Has Its Consequences

As is my usual routine, I got up this morning when Trevor refused to play quietly in his room anymore. I fed him breakfast, straightened up the house a little, put his cartoons on and lay down on the couch to be lazy and observe Trevor.

I must have dozed off, because next thing I knew, something was poking my leg repeatedly. The "something" in question looked like this:



At first I couldn't figure out what he had gotten into. I looked around and nothing seemed out of place. That's when I walked into his room and found my purse, wide open and emptied on the floor.

Most of what you see on his angelic little face is mascara. There is also some lipstick and ink from a ballpoint pen. It just doen't show up that good in the pictures. His body, arms and legs are covered too.

This is what just about every page in my checkbook now looks like:


Oh, the joys of parenting a toddler!

The joys of parenting, indeed!

I don't think you ever got into something like that and made a mess, but I know that whenever you and/or your sister got ree-ee-eal quiet, it usually meant you were doing something you knew you shouldn't be doing.

How lucky can one mom be? You will be able to hold this photo over his head when he gets to be a teenager. I am sure that you will have more. They particularly like it when you bring out nude photos of them at an early age. tehee.

The duke is right on. We paid very close attention when our two girls were quiet.

I must share this one tale. They are four years apart in age. When the oldest one was about six they were taking a bath together. Maryann and I were in the next room listening to them play in the tub. The oldest one appeared to be teaching the younger one to talk because were heard her plainly say to her sister, "Say shit. Say shit." It was all we could to keep from laughing out loud. We certainly didn't want to reward such behavior. Who knows where that would have led.

Have fun watching Trevor grow into an even more fabulous human being.
