Why I Never Get Things Done (or, Blake)

I wonder why sometimes I feel so unproductive, so inefficient? Oh, wait. I know. Blake. BeanBean is always into something. Always. He's sweet. He's cute. He's into everything. He feels that almost everything is worth getting disciplined for. Please don't think we let him do what he wants without consequence - or training - we are actually quite consistent. But he's a stinker. For about 3 weeks I carried the camera around and took pics of what he did. By no means did I get them all, and I never took pics of the same thing if it happened more than once. It does. A lot.
tumping over the chair - never allowed

wiping his nose on the sheet that got put on literally less than a minute before
Messing with the forbidden stereo - notice his balance, it's actually quite impressive.
Getting into the chocolate torte. What's a little forbidden dessert right after a bath?
Massacring the tres leches cake
How helpful to "re-organize" for us - glad Kyle checked before pre-heating!
dressing up during nap time

playing with dish soap - He's saying "Uh-oh!" as if it were an accident. I know better.
Orange juice dumped on his head.
Saying "No touch!" while messing in the grill.
he superglued his tongue. Yep.
spare change from his mouth - an almost daily occurence. No, I do not leave change where he can reach it. The kid has problem-solving skills.
Coffee, anyone?
The only time he's at peace! And how sweet he looks when he is.

WOW - I have heard stories but to see proof... WooHoo!! You've definitely got your work cut out for you, huh?!

The picture of him balancing on the riding toy is quite amazing. He is very resourceful!

Oh.My.Goodness. And I thought using Clorox Cleanup as glue was bad. You should start writing a book!

I think it's awesome that you documented it all! You could accumulate a couple decades worth of material for a photo book to give as a gift when he is expecting his first child!

So cute... and I am so happy that you documented all this... I have a blake too (a little older) but I think it is in the name... those little rule breakers and problem solvers... got to love them..

I have my own version of Blake. It is getting a little easier now that he is getting older. So, my point is there is hope!

My favorite is the superglue on the tongue! Hilarious!! I'm just glad I'm looking at these pictures alone! Usually my kids like to look at blogs with me...I don't want any of these ideas to get in their heads...they come up with enough on their own!! Cute post!
