This morning while working just on the other side of the wall, I heard the glass top of the candy jar. Teasing Paul who is trying to lose weight, I say…
“Thought you were staying out of the candy?!” I teased.
“I am.” He says from a different direction.
I heard his voice from the office which is on the other side of the house. It confused me for a second and then as it does for Mom’s, it ALL COMES TOGETHER! It could have only been the 4 year old, I thought! I sprang out of my seat and ran into the kitchen expecting to bust the little guy!
As I came around the corner what I saw took my breath away!
It was the baby! Well, our baby, she is 20 months. The 4 year old was upstairs playing in his room, where I thought she was with him.
She had managed to come downstairs, pull the stool over to the counter and climb up on it without either of us hearing her. We didn’t have a TV or radio on either. I snapped a picture quick, to show her when she was a teenager to explain why she was already grounded…
As I looked closer, she had taken her baggie or goldfish and dumped them into the jar of chocolate eggs.
I guess she was making a trade!
Part comedian, part Dad, part athlete. He will boss around your children while they play ball.
Just as angelic as she looks, this girl could easily raise a Village by herself, and all the children would grow up to be President.
Self proclaimed, she would be a webkinz dog. Because, "they're cute, and puppies are too. And they're sweet and they always get along with other puppies."
This mini-Martha Stewart can handle ANY craft you send her way. She isn't all bows and rainbows, she's got karate kid moves!
Not "Pick-Me-Up" like caffeine, she wants you to pick her up! AND NOW!
Anything that can be destroyed WILL be destroyed!
Practically Perfect in Every Way for now! Nicknamed "The Panda" she is rolly polly and lives by the motto, "the little one, is KING!"
The resident Labradoodle, Miller got his name because Mom won and got to name the baby! Need something chewed up? He'll take care of it. Especially if it's expensive..
She gave a little and took a little! Good thinking! 🙂
Lol that is priceless! I remember those days!!!!!
Just like my little girl!! We have no chairs, coffee or end tables. We had to remove the chair at the computer desk . Not to mention any toy that could give her leverage. You have to watch her like a hawk = )
My son, at that age, would use the sit and spin to stand on and get up on the counter. He’s 4, now, and STILL into absolutely everything.
That is so funny…I thought only my grandchildren did that! I’m so glad they are past that stage. They made me a nervous wreck!
She’s such a cute little peanut though mom! I just want to squeeze her and hand her the whole jar!! lol
So funny, my son use to trade all the time 🙂
I have to laugh because I came out of the shower thinking all my kids were asleep to find my 2 year old playing inside the 50 gallon fish tank. I was like what are you doing and she said swimming with the fishies mommy. Not to mention she had poured a whole can of fish flakes inside of the tank. Needless to say we no longer have a fish tank.
well, cadbury mini eggs are better than goldfish crackers
My son at that age was a climber. He pulled himself up onto the counter tops after he got busted for dragging chairs across the floor. It’s amazing what kids can do when they have no fear.
Wow no matter how this world changes, kids always do the same things. Enjoy their younger years because they grow up too fast and go out on their own
I just LOVE her!
