Do not trust the Baby

Well I finally got Gordon to help me lower Kye's mattress in the crib tonight. We heard a loud thump from his room about 2 hours after I laid him down (sound asleep) for the night, and went running back there. Kye was standing up in his crib n was pushing the hanging rack i have hanging up on the corner next to the door back n forth. It had hit the gate and knocked it over.

Funny .... Except -

He was leaning over the edge himself. Proud as a Peacock too. Laughing and squealing now that he had an audience just pushing the plastic hanging rack back and forth.

Sorry I didn't get any pic.s ... now that it's over and I can sit down and laugh about it I wish I had gotten some. Any way.. I'll have to put some up later of him crawling around. He's pleased with himself over this ability to seek out cords and paper to chew on.

Oh The Joys Of Being A Parent

Beware the antics of a 4 yr old. To be a parent of a toddler/preschooler I've found you must be more imaginative then they are or

1. You will never find those Easter Eggs they hide,
2. You will never find the cat they have hidden away until you make it a game, and then you don't find her.... your child will come running in saying "Look what I found".
3. If they don't want to wear it, clothing WILL disappear.
4. Your cell phone will be replaced a few times, you will find things on it you know you didn't put there, and please PLEASE don't let it die before you find it.
5. Once you have taught your child their numbers and how to call out on speed dial.... hide your cell phone 'cuz they will use it if you take a nap.
6. Should you wake up later than your child and he has decided to make you breakfast, pray he didn't discover how fun it is to use the can of Pam..... or hope it was almost empty.

and the last lesson I have learned so far -

7. If your child does not want to eat his lunch because he wanted hot dogs instead be wary if he brings you an empty plate and it looks like it has been scraped clean. It probably isn't in the garbage can because he expects you to look there... instead check the empty drawers under his bed. Should you have dogs they will love him.
