UGH!! JOSH!!!

As the last few days of vacation wound down, Josh was still up to his tricks! Where should I begin? Well, he has been super busy. The other day I had a box of Christmas decorations out because I was still packing up. Josh on the other had thinks that he should take the ornaments and spread them all over the house. So I can't put the box away because I keep finding ornaments everywhere. He also pulled the strands of lights out and tried to plug them in. When I took them away from him, he began yelling"LIGHTS", so I plugged them in for him to look at and enjoy. He has also had the star for the top of the tree plugged in to look at on the floor. He has been of course emptying the dishwasher (even though it is still dirty), mopping the kitchen floor (with a dry mop thankfully). Although he mostly bangs into the counters with it. He has grabbed the open coffee can that I once again left too close to the edge of the counter and eaten it with a spoon. (When am I going to learn??) Needless to say he didn't nap that day! Has climbed onto the kitchen table to steal his cousin's cinnamon roll breakfast on New years day. He is still in a high chair, but like everything else he wants to be a BIG boy. So he climbs onto a kitchen chair and says 'KIDS KIDS" because he wants to sit at the table with the kids. Which would be fine except he then climbs onto the table and steals food or dances in the middle of the table, waiting until someone comes along and then he yells HOLD ME and jumps! He jumps off his slide and scares me every time. He got the hair clippers and plugged them in, which of course is very naughty (we have to get twisty plug covers, he can pull the ones we have out).Not only was this naughty, it was scary for Josh because they were turned on and started buzzing loudly when he plugged it in! I have to admit I sort of laughed at him, while scolding him. He has been told he can only eat in his chair because he leaves food everywhere in the house for a later snack time, he doesn't like this very much at all, but so far it has gone well. Except for right now, I left the pantry open when he was taking his 15 minute nap and when he got up, he pulled out some taco shells and is now dancing on them in the living room. I will  report that my coffee table is doing well. Now I am not sure if this is because Josh got his own big table to play on or because we pushed it to the side of the living room so we can play the new Kinect, either way is ok with me. He as always is pulling every magnet off the fridge, every book off the shelf, and has now begun to pull stuff out of the garbage. I feel like i never have a moments peace, but I love Josh and appreciate that I can look back at his antics and laugh. I am very blessed to be able to be at home with him! Have a wonderful day! Until next time...
