My Mischievous Little Man

Just so they are documented, I'm going to "jot" down a few things that have happened in the last week.

*While I was trying to get some work done for my dad (I work part time for him) Jaxon dumped an entire box of Rice Krispies on the floor and stared playing around in them. Then while I was cleaning that mess up - he found a black marker (thank goodness it wasn't permanent) and started coloring all over himself, his toys, and thank goodness I saw before he got to the walls.

*He found a bottle of bright pink nail polish and thought it would be fun to throw - he threw it down my parents entry way and it shattered leaving pink polish all over their tile, rug, and front door. I got it off the tile - I'm just buying them a new rug.... but the front door - that has still yet to be taken care of. I have tried a few different things, but nothing has worked yet. I will most likely just re-paint the door for them.

*While he was taking a bath - the water was just barley filling up and I ran downstairs to get his towel and diaper - I came back up and he had grabbed a cup - filled it up several times and dumped the water onto the bathroom floor. I'm almost positive there was more water on the floor than there was in the bathtub!

Since becoming a mom my life has changed in so many ways - I often think to myself now - how did I ever think I was busy before having a 2 year old to chase around haha. I'm sure I will think that again when we add our other baby to the family - how did I ever think I was busy when I only had 1 child! I love my little man more than anything. Even though he can give me headaches and I can get frustrated with all the messes I have to clean up and all the things I don't get done because I'm doing things with him - I wouldn't change anything about him for the world. Yes I may have my meltdowns and at times I may voice my frustrations about having such a rambunctious boy - but I can tell there is something special about him and I feel so blessed to go through these struggles as his mom. He is going to grow up to be such an amazing young man. He will be a leader, and he will do great things! He has such a special spirit. He seems to know when and who need love and attention and he can give it in the most tender and sweet ways. I love you my little mischievous man! Thanks for letting me be your mommy!
