This post has been a long time coming. The title mischief and mayhem refer soley to our all too happy, recently turned "fwee", modern day Dennis the Menace, Greer. So far "fwee" has been tough. So tough I wonder if little dude will make it to four!! In his defense I will concede that the last month have been sorta upside down in our house. Todd and I got a much needed break when I tagged along to Disney World on his recent conference there. Auntie Jodi and cousin "Jofess" watched the kids for 5 days and Auntie Sue-Sue rounded out the week. When we got home, Todd watched the kids for a week and then was off on his next trip and a babysitter watched the kids. Then there was another trip and then he was home. There was first one, then another babysitter. It was probably all quite confusing for little dude. I however received the product of all the chaos in little dude's always surprising antics. There has been several pooping pants during naptime episodes that turned out to be epic messes when he changed himself, wiped his hands on his bedding and attempted to hide the prize. Ugh. Then there was the peeing in the Lego box, standing on the bed...and, you guessed it, peeing, and general, run of the mill, potty accidents. He is also doing the opposite of what he has been told on a quite regular basis and spending significant time in time-out. After one hair pulling incident that landed him in time-out, he was throwing his mandatory "I don't want to be in time-out" fit and he smashed his little face into a nearby chair. The goose egg that erupted was really awful and as I iced it I wondered if perhaps he had fractured his cheek bone. He is healing and sporting a multi-colored shiner at the moment.
I am happy that he is healthy and happy. I do know that his behavior is related to our upside down house and the fact that he is "fwee". Lord, please give me patience I need to see my boy to four!!
