Helpful Children & Paul's New Time Out

Why is it that when you want your kids to be helpful they're not, and when you don't need them to be they are? Today while I jumped in the shower I left the baby in the highchair with some Lucky Charms. I made sure to take out the marshmellows since they of course are too big for him to eat. Well...while I was in the shower Morgon comes running in yelling "MOM! MOM! Paul gave the baby more cereal!" Needless to say when I finally got out, most of them had found their way to the floor or had been eaten by the 4 three year olds. This is what I found. He had dumped over half of the box on his tray. I love helpful kids!!

Do you notice Paul's little eyes ? He was hiding from me:)

Now on to story #2...

I was in vacuuming the family room when Morgon comes in and says "Mom, Paul is stuck on the drawer!"(do you see a pattern here? Paul getting in trouble and Morgon snitching on him) I said "Stuck on a drawer, what are you talking about?" So I ran in to see what was going on and this is what I found!! He had been on the counter getting a banana and while trying to get down, caught is undies on the knob of the drawer. He couldn't get off and it was the FUNNIEST thing I have ever seen!!! I am so glad we found a new time out spot for our mess maker:)

Look at his little buns hanging out:0)

Isn't that the saddest face ever? (this was after I told him I was going to leave him there)

When I had Porter a good friend of mine, Nancy Thornhill, came to visit me in the hospital and she brought me this book called "So you want to raise a boy" and she told me that she would babysit for me whenever I needed her to as soon as Porter was at least two, but she preferred three year olds. I didn't know what she meant by that, but now that I have 4 three year olds I know exactly what she means. They are a hoot!! If they don't have you screaming and pulling your hair out then they have you rolling on the floor dieing of laughter. I wish Nancy was still here with us cause she would LOVE coming to visit!!
