Another Boy...

Yes, I have been mothering a long, long time.
Yes, I am the mother not only to this two-year-old boy, but also to two other boys.

And I am the sister to two brothers.

So the boy thing is not some kind of colossal surprise to me.

But this boy, this boy, with his need to hear things crash and shatter and break and splinter and fracture and rupture, yes, this boy is a revelation to me.

We found him throwing eggs in the kitchen.

We were alerted by the giggles that were issuing from his delighted larynx...

...and from the fact that we slid on egg white when we rounded the corner in the kitchen to see what he was giggling about...

And this was after he broke one of my remaining few matched set of drinking glasses. And after he broke my pretty stone coasters. And after he pulled an entire casserole dish to the floor. And after he cleared an entire coffee table of such detritus as coffee cups and books and the like.

Which was after he got the milk out of the fridge...by himself.

He's quite the aerobics instructor, I must admit...

  3. Oh. My. Wow. Just wow. Bless your heart.

    It's funny... a friend posted on FB that her daughter was for sale, lol (joking of course!!!) and we were commiserating about our lovely daughters. Another mom commented that we just needed to let the girls "know who's the boss" and it kind of made me laugh. Some kids are just different. Well, they are all different, really, lol. But some are just meant to be REALLY different. And test us. ;)

  6. Hah! He has taken a chapter from JWV book, "How to Ensure Your Mother is Completly Gray by 45." It seems to be a best seller. LOL

  10. Oh my! I think my son would be spending eternity in his bedroom! I'd be wrapping him up in bubblewrap and only letting him out long enough to change the wrapper when he grows out of it!! Here's to hoping he grows out of this phase quickly.

    Blessings,
    Michelle

  12. He might be a handful now as my boys were at that age, but as teens the boys were easy compared to the emotional girls.

  14. oh my goodness, I am so sorry. But so happy my little two year old hasn't thought to do this... YIKES.

  15. My 13 yr old and 11 yr old were like that when they were little. Fortunately Sara and Richie outgrew it, eventually. Thought the worse was the 3 pound block of cream cheese I bought to majke cheese cakes for a party. They fed the entire thing to the dog. The dog was banished to the fenced in yard until the effects on his digestive system were over. :)

  16. LOL- Those boys can definitely keep you on your toes. Mine doesn't break things on purpose. He just has a gift for being able to break a blacksmith's anvil. He is so like his daddy. ;)

  17. And this is why I think God knew my limits and gave me girls. Except that he made one of them accident prone and she's broken 7+ bones in her body so far.

    But at least I don't slip around on them on my kitchen floor. Ewwww.

  18. Oh, my.... I can't imagine finding this in my kitchen! I'm usually the one doing the egg-dropping.

  19. Sounds like life in my house! It is SO FRUSTERATING to clean up messes all day and to feel like you aren't even watching them...even though you know you are...

  20. we haven't egg-sperienced those egg-sact problems but we have certainly been on the clean up crew of our share of boy disasters... and I dare say we have plenty more to come!
