And that is why, if ever the person exists who is brave enough to start a boarding school for pre-schoolers, they will make millions of dollars
you forgot, “wake up tomorrow and do it all over again”!!! love the matchy-matchy shirts 🙂
I miss having little kids in the house. (My youngest is 10.)
Your posts make me feel better.
They still pee a little on the floor when they get older.
They still can’t find their glasses.
Hope you’re feeling better soon!
Barney is still on?
I’m worn out, just reading it.
I love the picture of him up close with the doll. And I’m just a little tired after reading this…do you have a great big calendar that you’re marking off in the countdown to Cancun?
This was pretty great! I love you giving people a glimpse into the life of your little man. It’s crazy!! I too, am tired after reading this and am (a little) glad Levi has moved out of that stage! Only 6 months until he turns 4! My baby!
Soon it will be Little Dude’s turn for all this……..
Bwaa haa haa haa haa!!! I’m cracking up at this schedule! I bet that’s exactly what was going on in his little mind every time he had to pee!
Blessings
Wow! That wore me out!
Just answer me one question – why, oh why, do you feel the need to work out?
You are freaking hilarious- you need to write a mommy book!
… and I can’t get over that the hubbie is putting something in the dishwasher! I didn’t realize husbands knew those appliances existed!
Silly little boy!
Mine kids ask were daddy is as soon as they get up in the mornings…every morning…even though they know the answer is He is at work! Great post!
Sounds typical…I have 5 and 2 year old boys. I think you described our day to a T! Great!
Wow… finally the cure for my “babies on the brain.”
Thanks.
Is it bad that I kept thinking about the spanking spoon through this? I’m just sayin’ and not wanting to step on any toes. With that said, you are super mom!
Actually, when we look back at our family videos, our twins got away with a lot more than their 3 older siblings. No spanking spoon existed apparently.
Reading this helps me remember why children are given to young people. I’m tired just reading his day.
Thank you, thank you, thank you…I so needed a laugh. 🙂
I am tired just reading this. You are Superwoman!
The picture of him on The Lumberjack’s back while he-The Lumberjack-is loading the dishwasher is priceless. He is one busy guy. I am rethinking the,”I have a wild son” idea. 🙂
And just recently my boy peed on the floor in his bathroom and then covered it up with his bath mat. (Wait. I think I may have already mentioned that here. Sorry.) He also threw away his napkin, and told me he was done with his chicken. He wanted more baked beans. I said,”What did you just throw away?” He said,”My napkin.” I said,”With chicken in it?” He said,”Yes.” I said,”I am not giving you more baked beans!” They think they’re being sneaky.
I bet you love the nighttime.
Chicka Chicka Boom Boom by Bill Martin, Jr. and John Archambault
I do confess to looking up who wrote it…I did recognize the book, though. 🙂
chicka chicka boom boom! i dont know who wrote it tho
i am exhausted just reading it! 🙂
LOL! Sounds about right!
Might that be Chicka Chicka Boom Boom?
One question… how did you remember all that? lol… This was a very great entry… I’m very inspired to make my own but I’m afraid I won’t remember anything past 9:00am.
You are Ha-larious….you should soooo right a mommy book
Have a great day
Summer :0)
Oh, the day in the life of a handsome dude. Somebody’s got to make sure mama doesn’t run out of things to do. My goodness ya’ took this chick back many years…….but wait I have a whole bus load of grandkiddos. Maybe I’ll grab someone to potty dance and pee on my floor today. Heeeheehe!
Have a greatly blessed day, ya’ll!!!
No wonder you crave adult conversation. Just gotta smile though…..
Thank you for that.
I just look at photos of my friend’s newborn baby and wished my tubes untied so I could have another.
Then I read this post and snapped back to reality so hard I may have whiplash.
I think four might have just killed me. I am not worthy! (Name that movie)
Thank the good lord for tubal ligation.
PS. My middle child is similar…they say that the highly emotional and highly resistant kids are like that because they’re super smart. We may be in trouble.
Wayne’s World!
Oh man! Cracks me up. I hope you copy pasted. 🙂 I’m terrified to think what a day in the life at my house would be. I might just try. Beware!
