Mack is definitely our little 'destroyer' or as we also call him 'the Osborne wrecking ball'. He needs his own clean up crew and one-on-one worker I'm afraid. We spend a good part of the day battling over trying to get him to listen, to obey, to not hit, not kick, not bite, on and on and on. But I am SO very grateful to be his Momma and to get to watch him growing and learning.
If we can survive this stage, it has GOT to be downhill from here (until the teenage years!). What about you? Any tips, techniques for keeping little boys out of mischief? Unless I simply follow him around all day, every day, there's no way I can keep up with his messes!
well obviuoslyhe has chatted with Samuel who seems to have taught him all his ways. I was just telling Josh that I am more tired than I have ever been. He is a constant ball of trouble and sneakiness. I wouldn't want him any other way,,,LOL
ReplyDeleteHang in there, girl! I laughed until tears were streaming reading this. It is pretty much a day in the life with Walker at that age. It WILL get better and you will look back and laugh. :) Boys are a blessing but they are also a far cry from their pretty little sisters who even at the most strong-willed don't gravitate towards messes quite so much! Ha!
ReplyDeleteI love this....I remember Kyle and his brother Kris. We had two wrecking balls...and they wrecked everything..but we never had anything really expensive, so we just went with the flow...now we still don't have any thing expensive and our little boys are grown up..This season will pass and you will miss your little wrecker...
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness. i think i need a nap just reading all of this. i am so so happy that you linked up and so so happy that you have written all this down to remember! xoxo.
ReplyDeleteJust take lots of pictures so you will remember it all when he is a big boy. Believe me, I miss those days more than I ever thought possible at the time!
ReplyDeleteWow oh wow, you need a hug and probably more. You must be a strong woman to have the patience for such an energetic little man!! I would collapse. :)
ReplyDeleteHAHA, I thought you were describing Connor and messed up the name!! I can definitely empathize since they were born the exact same day...He is IN TO EVERYTHING!
