What am I gonna DO with this boy?!!!!

The title is pretty self-descriptive.

This boy (MISCHIEF aka Josh) has been giving me fits lately! Please understand...I love my sons. Both of them. I happen to think, that if I actually manage to get thru the toddler years of my boys with my hair still in tact upon my head, it'll be a freakin' miracle.

During the past week he has managed to:

*Dump a full bottle of syrup onto our NEW carpet on the stairs.

*CLIMB (without use of aid or device) INTO THE KITCHEN SINK and flood said sink and my kitchen.

*CLIMB up my kitchen cupboards (again with no stool this time) to get into the knives. It took both Stann and I together to quickly and quietly corner him before he could do damage to himself, his brother or my house.

*Took a header off of the couch, because he was diving head first from the coffee table into the couch, and he missed. Obviously.

*He has been SOLELY responsible for breaking 11 Christmas ornaments that once were on my tree....(I tell you, I ought to make a widget for this!!)

*Ran barefoot, half-naked out into the street, while we were being deluged with hail. (As I was quickly putting the garbage out - gosh my neighbors must LOVE me!)

*Empty my drawers of all clean kitchen towels, dishrags, etc., and then pour the contents of his milk bottle onto them - thus causing another pile of laundry to appear.

Sadly enough, my list goes on for this week....

I'm not sure if I should be proud or appalled! You will never seen a child move as quickly as Josh does. I can't leave him alone. Ever! And I can't begin a task (after I've put him down for a nap) until I hear him sleeping....otherwise, I get "surprises"!

Stann and I have talked. We think this child may be meant for espionage. LOL. That's said a little tongue in cheek if you couldn't tell. His sense of timing is impeccable. He's fast. He's a whirlwind of activity. He has amazing logic/reasoning skills for a 2 year old. (He can figure things out quickly). He also has amazing fine and gross motor skills. He does things a 2 year old should never be able to do!!

Move over Dennis the Menace....Josh the Mischief Maker will be putting you to shame in approximately......

Oh crud. I heard something crash. I gotta go!
