Often, it seems that I'm only ever telling stories about Norah's rascality, but as Caleb's personality starts to evolve from sweet, innocent baby into trouble-making toddler, he's been adding some of his own devilry to the household.
Case in point: This morning.
Right now, dressing Caleb is like dressing a wet octopus, so I
usually get him changed on the living room floor, that way if he manages to wriggle
away from me, he’s not plunging off the top of the changing table. Often I only manage to get him half-dressed
before he maneuvers out of my grasp and runs away from me. Yes, a month ago, he was just weeble-walking around
here, and now he is a person who can ESCAPE and run away from me.
Well, “run” is an overstatement. Still, it’s surprising how quick he can be if
he wants to.
So, this morning, I’m getting him dressed for school and he
wriggles away – naked – and gets over to the entryway.
Where he stands and pees
on the floor.
It reminded me of one of those naked cherubs* who sometimes
appear in water fountains.
*Which, sidenote, those are kinda weird, aren't they? Does anyone think that's cute? End sidenote.*
I had to tell him: "Kid, you're no angel and my tile is no water fountain. Let's holster that little gun of yours."
He resigned to getting dressed, but I saw the glint in his eye: This is just the beginning, isn't it?

LMAO! How can you use rascality and hijinks in one post?????
Oh my word!!! The things kids think of seriously!! How was your first day back?
I am making a mental note to lock Caleb in the bathroom next time he's over and needs a diaper change. LOL!
Oh what fun that age is... I remember what my 8 year old was that age. Now back at round 2 and what I have to look forward to in a few more months!
and no... those fountain things are not cute!
When you find out how to fix that fountain things, please share the secret. My son is 2 years old and he makes me feel as though I were in Rome.
Hahaha sometimes I'm really glad I don't have a boy!
I think the peeing fountain cherub is rather odd myself. Throw your pennies into my pee water! No thanks. But Caleb peeing on the floor is rather hilarious. :)
