Trampoline?
Joshua is getting more into trying out this potty thing. He dragged his potty up onto the ottoman, I guess the principle being that higher is better? and used it there completely of his own volition. His latest favorite spot is the trampoline. You'd think that would be, well, a bit messy, but he waits to bounce later. THank goodness!
He kept himself busy today while Sam and I worked on her 100 words project. Sam has to put 100 words on something, so I suggested a windsock. Josh kept himself busy by putting scissors to paper, then ripping it by hand. He shows it to me and says, "Mommy, see my homework! I cut paper!" I tell him how wonderful, and he goes off to shred even more paper into even tinier pieces which end up on the floor. He must have thought it looked good, because he took all of Sam's school papers and threw those on the floor too. and the pencils. and the scissors. and the tape, the sticky, not on the roll tape. Oh, Joshua has a special folder I gave him for his 'homework.' He ran after daddy last night yelling, "daddy look at homework, this is my homework, daddy!" He is a very proud boy, as he should be. Not every 2 year old has his very own homework folder (full of shredded paper). Did I find a few other messes today thanks to Joshua? Oh, yes. I should preface this by saying that I am aware I am sounding testy. I have just cause. I got a new keypad put into my laptop yesterday because Josh ripped out ten of them and I couldn't put them all back. 10 hours later, my brand new keypad had three keys ripped out (just function keys, but still!). and I can't just pop the keys back into this new keypad. Oh no. This is progress! Dell wants to charge you for a whole new keypad when a toddler rips off keys! I did shut the laptop, but he must have figured out how to open it. So today, wander upstairs after crawling around on hands and knees on the dining room floor cleaning things up, and find the hallway outside his room covered with bits of legos and his sleeping bag and well, a few chocolate cake crumbs. We made chocolate cake this afternoon during the snowstorm, and the two little imps ate almost all of it and what they didn't eat, they turned into crumbs. It was like having Hansel and Gretel and my house was the forest! crumb trails everywhere and two wired children. Matt got them to clean up the hallway, what he didn't get to on his own. I am off to some well deserved rest.
