Mr. Destructo

8 minutes. This is the amount of time that it takes me to dry my hair. This is also the amount of time that it takes Mr. Destructo to demolish a bathroom. Today he was especially destructive as he reeked havoc. Of course, I had to take some pictures to capture the bathroom devastation. Take a walk with me through our, once clean, bathroom.

Entrance into the bathroom: Jay's clothes from the closet

In front of the shower: more clothes, drawer liner, one of my shoes, one of Jay's socks, and a makeup sponge

Bottom drawer where hairdryer and drawer liner belong: my shoes mate

In front of the tub: towel and another one of my shoes

In drawer where towel used to be: my hairbrush that I needed to dry my hair

In the bathtub: Meet Mr. Destructo himself (please don't let yourself be fooled by the look of innocence being displayed here) "Who, me??"

*No animals were harmed during the making of this post, and the bathroom was back in order by the next morning's hair drying.*

I can do it myself....mom!!

Ok, so William doesn't actually say that...yet. He has become quite the independent little man these days, though. His days are filled with saying "no"(his new favorite word), swatting my hand away, undressing himself and wanting to do generally everything for himself. I still make this independent toddler stop to give me kisses, though : )

Takes out the trash himself...or at least to the door

will only eat a banana if he does it himself

undressing himself for bath-time (yes, that's the kitchen floor, if you were wondering)

Ravioli boy

Since, our little man will soon be turning the big 02 (oh my), we decided it was probably time that we started to polish his manners a bit. We started with the use of utensils. It's been a little bit rocky, so far, as he doesn't seem to see the need when he has 10 perfectly fine fingers, but we've been practicing anyway. I managed to capture a few pics on ravioli day, which is becoming more frequently lately. Also, in case you're wondering, yes, he's still in his pajamas at lunch. This just seemed easier than risking a mid-day change...you will soon understand what I mean.

Going in for the kill

Slam dunk!

The aftermath...

Oops...slippery little sucker!

When mama's away, the boys will play

Jay and William were "hanging out" the other morning while I was showering and getting ready. This mostly consisted of wrestling and watching cartoons in the "big bed". When I went to download pictures from my camera, this is what I found...

"What?? I'm busy watching my cartoons."

Enjoying the big bed

That Choco-holic William

The apple definitely doesn't fall far from the tree. What can I say, but the kid loves chocolate...who can blame him! Now, if we can just teach him how to let it melt in your mouth, and not in your hands!

What every man should have...

...is a pair of Carhartt's. Now, thanks to my cousin, Deb, he's now the very proud owner of a pair. He wears them well, and says that they make him feel like a country boy : ) I just think their plain cute! *disclaimer- please excuse the hair...it's winter, and static is not our friend, ha!*
