I could go on, but you get the point. He's only two, and the other boys did not do such things, so I just get so flabbergasted when I see yet another unexpected mess. I don't get as upset as I used to when I see a Seth mess, because I am starting to understand the kid. You should see his face when he is in the middle of creating the disaster. It is a look of curiosity and discovery and he is really learning about this world that we live in. He is so smart, and so huggy and lovey, that it is hard to be mad at him for too long anyway. So for now, I just have to remember to put away the salt and pepper, shampoo, and toothpaste, and get on with life.

My third (Jonas) was like that, too. My first two weren't much into mess-making, but Jonas was into everything. I remember having to put all my barstools on the bar and chairs on the kitchen table when he was a toddler or else he wouldn't stop climbing and threatening to kill himself. I have a feeling that my new guy (Wyatt) might follow in Jonas's footsteps! But at least when they're into everything, you know they're curious and active and like to have fun.
The only messy one I have to clean up after is 23 years old! haha, jk. I do get a lot of help cleaning our apartmet, but I do look forward to the day when I will have little messes to clean up after. Your boys are so cute! I love working with them in primary. You are a saint!
Thats just too funny!! He is too cute to be mad at! At least you only have one destroyer. Imagine if all 4 were that way. hahaha
I guess I shouldn't complain too much about Cade and his messes, he's not quite as creative and yours!LOL!
I just don't have a clue! My girls tend to be more on the emotional side rather than the destructive side. I might be pulling my hair out if we ever have a boy! :) Thank you for sharing your boys with us on Saturday. They were a big help. Especially the big one. Thanks Lance.
Just like Rachel. I could go on and on...
