A Day With "Fudge" AKA Joshua



So if any of you have read the "Fudge" series by Judy Blume, I feel I have a Fudge on my hands! He is so smart, and so into everything! As I'm cleaning up one mess- he's into another. AHH gotta love the 2 year olds! The other day the boys and I went to run errands while Mike caught up on sleep (he's working nights now) so I bought Joshua a new coloring book and crayons while we were out. Before we had even paid for it he was coloring in it- which was fine until I got home feeling we had a very successful outing (no tantrums, meltdowns) and I looked at his face realizing as I was strolling around feeling like I was in control and having a good morning- Joshua was coloring all over his face with his new crayons! I can only wonder what people in the stores were thinking! We have such a long double stroller that I can see Josh- but not always what he's doing. Oh well. At least they make Washable Crayons eh?! (Click on the picture to see his full artwork)

So this morning was quite a morning as well. I got into the shower and put a show on in the guest room for Joshua to watch. This is our daily routine- he usually floats back and forth between the guest room and the bathroom while I'm showering. Well, this morning, I got out and heard the baby crying (who was supposed to be down for a nap) I opened his door and went to check on him only to notice that his full little swaddled body was turned around in his crib 180 degrees- and his blankets were tossled around in the crib. HMMMMM, I know Chase couldn't have done this. Thank goodness I didn't find him on the floor! Joshua just grew tall enough to open doors within the last week. Moral of the story: We are buying Childproof door handles this afternoon!

So..... I get the baby back to sleep and continue getting ready. I run into the bathroom to finish my hair absent-mindedly leaving my makeup kit on the dresser in the guest room. Joshua comes in a few minutes later and taps me saying, "eyes". He had found my mascara and even applied some of it correctly! I took that away, hurried to finish my hair and went into the next room just as he was starting to apply foundation!!!! Wow. The picture says it all.

This is one busy boy.

Little boys are so funny. Sometimes I think that I will never get to relax ever again in my life :)

Chase looks so old! I love his hair.

Oh my goodness!! Well, I can only say, (cuz I have 2 boys myself) that it only gets "worse" from here. The other day while I was in my room, my youngest son got ahold of a pink crayon and colored on my hubby's nice new LCD 1080 TV. Thank HEAVENS it came off. ;)
