Journaling:
While Connor had his share of mischievous acts when he was younger (his "best"
moments usually involved scissors and either his hair or, often times, the cushions
on my couch) Liam has far surpassed his brother when it comes to acts of mischief.
The following are what I consider to be the most devious of the bunch.
1 - I thought I had escaped the marker mess with you, but not too
long ago, you learned how permanent marker will mark on anything. My
desk is now covered with your squiggly masterpiece.
2 - There's something magnetic about kids and glasses. You pretty
much demolished Daddy's first pair, causing him to buy a new bend-any-
which-way pair. It worked - it kept you from breaking them. But it didn't
stop you from biting off one of his nose pieces.
3 - I know it's not good form to let you climb on the furniture, but
when you started counting for the first time, it was really hard to make
you stop. You would climb up on the arm of the couch, scream
"1-2-3!" and then, using the arm like a spring board, you would jump
or fall onto the cushions, giggling with glee.
4 - I don't splurge often on myself. But I do enjoy a good cup of coffee.
And it's a rare treat that I get french vanilla creamer for it. So I was a
little peeved when I found you quietly eating a brand new bottle of the
powered treat - leaving me enough for only a couple cups of coffee.
5 - Like any good mischief maker, you have learned how to be extra quiet
when doing something you know you shouldn't. That's why I never knew you
had pulled your stepping stool into the kitchen and climbed up onto the
counter and got your crackers until you were already done munching away.
6 - I was a lucky mom I think. You never discovered the joys of painting a room
with your poop. But there was one time where you reached in a found a brown
nugget and thought to give it a try. It wasn't to your liking and you spit it out
onto the floor in front of me. I think I was more grossed out then you were.
7 - You like getting into things in tubes. Carmex. Neosporin. Butt Paste.
Toothpaste. I get it. I really do. They're fun to squish the stuff out, and
then play with whatever's in there. But please stop smearing it on the
TV and on my monitor. That stuff is hard to clean off!
8 - There are many moments where your monkey-like ways put you
in a precarious position - balancing awkwardly and somehow avoiding
disaster. I think the one that makes me laugh the most was when
you scaled the fence. You never did learn how to go over it, but it was
fun to watch you climb up it.
9 - You don't really like the crust on your sandwiches. And one day, you finished
up lunch by stuffing the remainder of your sandwich crust into the latch holes
of my little filing box. I found it a few weeks later. Thank you for sharing.
10 - You love coffee! It's not that you think you're getting away with
something, and so therefore, you enjoy it. But you genuinely love coffee.
And every chance you can get, you will sneak a drink from my cup or Daddy's
cup, and then giggle about it when you're caught.
