Ornery Mason #2


I don't get it. I REALLY don't get it. How can 2 children, products of the same 2 parents, be SO different?!?!?!?

Carter NEVER did/does things like this! I don't think it would have even crossed his mind! Ugh...

These are some of the events that have happened in the last 24 hours! I SAID HOURS! NOT DAYS!

1. Pouring (cheerfully) his shampoo all over the bath tub. (He wasn't even taking a bath!)

2. Climbing onto the counter and getting candy without asking.

3. Disappearing into my bathroom, climbing on the sink and drenching himself with hand soap.

4. Picking Adalynn up from her bouncy seat and dropping her on the floor!

5. Coloring on the coffee table.

6. Coloring on the CARPET!

7. Getting up from his nap w/o coming to tell me he was awake, AND getting into the CANDY CUPBOARD, AGAIN!

8. Putting screw drivers in the muffler pipe on Nick's car.

9. Announcing to me (as we are trying to potty train) "I'm pooping!" (in his diaper) quite proudly and cheerfully.

10. He looks at me, says "We don't like ants!" and stomps on the card full of ants and terro!

YIKES!!!!! HOW AM I SURVIVING??????????

Now, you may not believe me (and how could I blame you?) but I really do watch him carefully and check on him often. REALLY! He is just that sneaky and quick. AND - I discipline him! A LOT! Ugh....Could you pray for us...Please?!?!?!?! :)

Ok, number 8 had me laugh, but #4, not so much! Hopefully Briggs doesn't do all that "boy" stuff.

Jessica - I just stumbled on here and the video cracked me up. I love how one boy is "spinning" while the other organizes. :) My favorite part was when Mason nearly colored on the wall while you were recording. It was like he had no power to stop the crayon from going to the wall. You have your hands full!!
