Where Have I Been??

I'm asking myself the same question.  My last post was March 10.  Wow!  Oh well. Life happens and I'm back on board to wanting to write, write, write!!  So Pearson has been on go lately.  He is a ball of energy and just is so different from Owen at this age.  We recently went on vacation and while in the bath at the hotel, he managed to gash open his chin and need 5 stitches!  He cried for about 5 minutes and that was it! Owen on the other hand, probably would still be crying days later!  I guess that is the 2nd child mentality.  He also is starting to really talk - ALOT!  Between all the "mommas" I don't know how he ever gets a breath in. But Dave is so gracious to remind me that one day, he won't be saying "momma" all the time.

I'm in the middle of the craziness and frustrated days on end, but I do love it.  My kids are so loving right now and I don't look forward to the day they don't want to sit in my lap, don't want a kiss when I drop them off at school, and even the day that I don't hear their voice at all because they are too busy with their college friends to call me.  So while I do wish I could freeze time, I know I can't.  So Dear Lord, please help me remember that the frustrating, pull my hair out times won't last forever, but unfortunately, neither do the priceless moments that always manage to put a smile on my face.

The Preposterous, Perpetual, Shenanigans of Pearson

Tried to find a "p" word like shenanigans but nothing seemed to fit!  My son is crazy.  That's the only way I can describe him.  Everyone gets to see the loving, sweet boy Pearson is.  But no, just wait, I plan on exposing him...He is downright crazy (or basically an almost 2 year old).

Scenario #1 - For the last couple of weeks, off and on, he wakes up crying and is soaking wet.  No, he's not peeing so much that his diaper is full.  He has found "himself" very fascinating and keeps himself busy so much that "it" comes out of the diaper and when he pees at night, he gets wet.  He gets changed and goes back to sleep. (don't worry, I found a solution to this today- onesie under pj's - totally obvious, but oh well) Last night I made the mistake of putting him in a one-piece with a zipper.  This morning while I was watching TV with Owen, Pearson managed to unzip his pj's and take his diaper off and ran around the entire house naked and laughing up a storm!  He loves being naked but I've never seen him run up and down the stairs and everywhere in the house naked. I'm sure it won't be the last.

Scenario #2 - Pearson thinks he is muscle man.  He is constantly hitting things, picking things up and throwing them, making grunting noises, etc.  He has now ventured into picking up his push toys and slamming them down to the floor.  No smack on the hand or time out has solved this.  It is clearly a goal of his everyday to see what he can pick up and slam down.  I have a feeling Owen is somewhere on his list!

There are so many more "shenanigans" and I'll keep adding them as time goes on and try to throw in a picture or two here and there!  As crazy as he is....I love him so!
