Man oh Man... I'm worn down tonight... my afternoon was full of BUSY.... the tiny tot in my house is amazingly busy & curious.... We had the best & worst case scenarios today. At a restaurant, he told me he needed to poop. After some discussion with him, I decided to take him. It was the first time he told me in a public place. And to my surprise & delight, he did!! Good thing because I didn't have a diaper!! Then the worst... at nap time he managed to get off his little jeans & diaper & poop in the bed & play in it... UGH... so he had to have a bath & I had some cleaning to do... then we ditched the nap. So best & worst was right there!!

Then I decided to do the dishes while he was "helping"... I never do that because he takes everything out & runs.... I just was trying to get it done... and VERY QUICKLY he grabbed a glass bowl & tossed it on the floor.... SHATTERED... and before I could react, he had another one and SHATTERED... so there was glass EVERYWHERE... I put him on the stool in the middle of the floor & he watched me clean it all up. No toys, no bink, no NOTHING... It was flustering.

I took him to the back yard then & he proceeded to get in the mud & after some time, discovered if he backed himself up really fast he could fall into the dog water bowl because I kept telling him to stay out of it... so he backed right into it watching me the whole time... and when I was almost at him, he threw himself right in. So there was my baby... wet, muddy & OH SO HAPPY...

And very soon after that, we came in the house, dried off, changed clothes & mommy went to work... it was peacefully quiet at work! But I wouldn't work full time... I love being the one to see Espen... but it is super nice to occassionally have a break....
