Blake, my eldest. He's 2 and a half... what can I say!
I really strive to NOT be one of those parents who complains about their kids when they have to stay home from school on a snow day. Even though, neither of my boys are in school yet, something about that really bothers me. "Oh NO! No school today? What ever shall I do, my kids are going to drive me nuts!" If it were me, I would try to cherish that time. Who knows what the future brings? Maybe they could be taken to heaven the next day. Do you not think that you would want that time back? "Leave me alone for 5 minutes!" Do you not think that you would regret complaining about your kids being home from school? And, wouldn't you do almost anything to get that time back? I work very hard to make sure my boys are happy, and that I am happy with them.
Now, while there are times that my boys get on my nerves too, never has the thought passed my brain that I might sell them off to the passing circus. But... Blake has done some rather cute things, Al-be-it things that have gotten him in trouble or even earned him a spanking, but cute non the less. A few of them were harmless, and still equally as cute. Here are two of those stories
1) Last night, we decided that it was an eat out kind of night, and we went to Pizza Ranch. I was taking a bite of my salad and had managed to get some dressing on my chin. I was trying to hand signal Justin into giving me a napkin, but would have succeeded more in landing a 747! Blake seeing my struggle, picked up his napkin and said, "It's okay mommy, I get it." He placed one hand on the back of my head, and wiped my chin with the other... All I could do was stare at him. Justin, on the other hand, I thought he might pee his pants!
2) Two days ago I was in the kitchen working on some dishes, when I heard Blake go upstairs. He knows he isn't supposed to be up there without either Justin or myself, yet up he went. I gave him about 2 minutes to correct himself and when I didn't hear him come back down, I went after him. I snuck to the bottom of the stairs and in a stern voice said, "BLAKE!" Thump, thump, thump... he came running from the bathroom, saw me at the end of the stairs, muttered, "oh no." (yup, he knew he was caught!) and proceeded to FLY down the stairs... Seriously, I have never seen him come down the stairs so fast! He got to the bottom and bent over with his butt towards me and said, "spankin?" Yup, he got a spanking. He knew he did wrong, and now he had to pay for it... The willful disobedience of a Two year old!
The second half of this story is, I couldn't figure out what it was he did up there. Until last night, I went to give Logan a bath before bed and I turned on the water, left it running to go get Logan undressed. When I came back, I figured out what he had done. The half full bottle of bubble bath had been unloaded into the tub... SO, now there were bubbles 4 foot in the air in the shape of a bathtub... Folks, you have never seen my turn off the water so fast!

Sometimes, he just plays too hard!
