FAKER!

I know its hard to believe that this "little angel" could ever do something like what I am going to tell you about. I do have to give him credit for being incredibly creative for a one and a half year old! I don't know many kids his age who have attempted the following stunts......

DISCLAIMER: All these were catured right before he got in trouble and in the past two days...

First up: Yesterday it got very quite in the afternoon and I took a break from unloading the dishwasher to see what he was up to. This is what I found hime doing: unlocking and relocking the front door.....

Of course he was immediately punished as he can easliy fall of his little chair and hurt himself on the hard-wood flood. It was snack time, so we preceeded into the kitchen and put him into his chair to eat. We were having yogurt (nomulk as he says) today. I guess he didn't like the fact that I wouldn't let him watch Cars because he didn't take a nap today and he had already watched Word World (his new favorite show) and Super Why in the morning. This is what he had to say about it: Oh and he made these faces JUST FOR THE CAMERA!!!

Just remember your mommy when you become a famous thespian!

So that concluded yesterday. Enough events for me anyways. Well, today we are struggling with nap time again. He doesn't want to take a nap anymore he wants to play. So bad in fact that he stands at the gate blocking his room saying in the most pathetic little tones "play" and "water". I used to think he was thirsty. Nope - he wants in the pool! I guess he's a fish just like I was. :) Well, today he managed to move his bed across the room, throuw his laundry on the floor, spread the blankets around and I found him lying in the bed with his feet on the closet! Here's what the room looked like:

I put him back in his bed and was moving the bed back where it goes when he jumped and was trying to "play". He hit his fact on the little plastic side of the bed. Of course "playtime" was then over. I felt bad for him but also told him that's why we don't play during naptime. Sleepy baby boys need to sleep or they get hurt when trying to play. Needless to say he has his first "accident" from playing....I know there's many more to come. You can see it a little by his eye

Well, its been 2 hours now....and still no sleeping baby! I guess I'd better go make sure he's at least "resting" in his bed....maybe he'll close his eyes for an instant and then he'll fall asleep. Too bad he knows that's what will happen - that's why he doesn't stay in his bed for too long - he might actually fall asleep!
