My Name is.....

TROUBLE WITH A CAPITAL "T" AND IT RHYMES WITH "B" AND THAT STANDS FOR BRIAN!



BUSTED AGAIN!


HMMMM...WHAT ELSE IS IN HERE? THERE HAS GOT TO BE SOMETHING I CAN BREAK UNDER ALL THIS STUFF.

YES, I DO THINK IT'S VERY FUNNY !

HEY, MAYBE YOU KNOW WHERE MAMA KEEPS THE CHINA, ALL I CAN FIND IS THIS PLASTIC STUFF....

We've been so spoiled with our first three boys. We have never had to put a single cabinet or drawer lock on anything...(of course we did it with Alex, but we didn't need to)...Didn't even put them back on for Nick or Nathan....but Brian is making up for all three of them...He is into every drawer, every cabinet, everything! He can tell you the location of every plug in our house. (He keeps a copy of our homes blueprint in his diaper) He has made it his goal in life to figure out how to get those plastic stopper things out of them. Sometimes he spends several minutes a day just staring at and studying said item. I feel pretty sure he is devising a plan to end worldwide suffering with plastic plug stoppers.... (or maybe he just wants to eat them)☺

.

He also loves to take doorstops off ...this little fetish of his has already resulted in one hole in the wall...ugh Recently, he has taken an interest in the carbon monoxide detector...He must emit carbon monoxide because it almost always goes off while he is sitting in front of it, ya know, contemplating world hunger..... There is a small possibility that he may be pushing the "test" button during all this contemplation... By the way.....That thing is loud...at least I know I'll be woken up if it goes off for real!

.

I can just see his little (Ok BIG) eyes scanning the room looking for something or somebody to bug... When he gets caught, he crawls off in the other direction in super stealth mode, not even looking back to see if he is being chased.....And obviously (SEE PIC ABOVE) he has quite the guilty face when confronted by one of us....I'm sure he is wondering why being so stinkin' cute, (with adorable curls and eyes so big he melts you) isn't paying off anymore.....

.

Well, I hear "Trouble" through the baby monitor, so I guess I'm out to purchase some baby proofing items.....catch ya later.

Lesson Learned

Ok, Ok....no matter how much I want to celebrate every moment with each of my children, I am coming to the conclusion that it won't always be feasible. For instance, last night when it was 25 degrees and raining (maybe a little exxageration, but it was really cold!) I probably should have skipped Alex's football game. I should have stayed in the warmth of our home with Nick, Nathan, and Brian and sent Nima and Alex out into the storm alone to play the game. I should have, but I didn't. I didn't because I don't want to miss a moment watching my children grow up. I want to be at every game, every field trip, every school event....every thing. We always tell our boys that we want them to have a big family because they get to have built in best friends. Nothing could be better than the unconditional love of a brother (or sister), but unfortunately, as they are learning, it sometimes comes with sacrafices. Sometimes we can't focus solely on each of them and have to focus on one. Sometimes only Daddy is at their game, and sometimes only Mommy and sometimes Gramma or Papa. It is so hard for me to come to peace with the fact that I can't be there for each of them every minute of every day.....but when they are grown and have their own families I hope they know that I always have and always will love them every minute of every day.
