Tub Time

With the weather being so nice lately we have been spending alot of time outside.

Chase and outside = alot of dirt which = alot of baths.

So his new thing is my bath tub full of bubbles. Taylor has been gracious enough to play with him so I can still get some things done. He turns on the jets and watch out world - I can hear him laughing through the entire house -which makes it all worth it.


Not only does he like to bathe in the tub, it has also become a very versatile place that he can stop in for a drink when needed.
I was thinking of some of the crazy things he has has been doing lately and have
compiled a short list below:
(Where is all this stuff in the "Your Child is 2" books????)
1)Today he pulled almost all the keyboard keys off of our laptop computer in about two minutes
2) anytime there is a window open he has been breaking the little black pulltabs
off the screens from the inside.
3) Most of our floor vents are closed because he will put anything and everything down them - he even takes the cover off so he can get bigger items down it.
4) We bought him a train table for his Birthday and screwed the track down so he wouldn't be able to take the track off - well, he walked out with the bridge and a few pieces of track in his hands last night - screws still attached!!!!!!
5) He had a handful of nickles (he got out of my purse) but he had his PJ's on and didn't have any pockets -so he put them all down his diaper for safe keeping - Surprise!
6) We are trying to start potty training - so far he loves the potty but can't seem to make anything happen. He just sits there looking down saying "PeePee Out"
7) He loves to collect all the worms from our yard and put them in big piles, not so bad but,he pulls up the landscape paper to find them.
Crazy as it is I wouldn't trade being a Mother for all the money in the world.

I'm mentally preparing myself for all of the crazy things that Olivia will get into when she gets older. They are so cute having their tub time!!

Oh man! Before I read this, I was complaining of Charlotte "being 2"! Isn't it a funny age? I'd forgotten...

ps-I am SO tired of bathing the girls!!

I consider myself a very lucky mom because my kids only sometimes did and do, crazy things like that. At least compared to what I hear from other people about their kids. (Knock on wood)

Those pictures are great!!! It's fun to see all the new things Chase has thought of since I've been gone. Wow!! the jam. Your cake is beautiful. As usual you learned a valuable lesson to not repeat actions the second time. It made me feel close to be able to see the kids. I can't wait to do jam too. There are a lot of wild raspberries here and blueberries. We are going to pick some today. Kisses and loves from grandma.

This is hilarious! Audrey is such a girl- she wouldn't do half these things. We've got other issues though, so you are not alone in the two-year-old department!
