The 2nd Child Syndrome

Why Hello, Beautiful morning here

Found this shot on my camera of my boy

Super cute & Super Ornery 24-7

I've heard people talk about the 2nd child syndrome 

You know the 2nd child whom is always the more of a handful than the first

Well this is so our little guy, he's a great lil guy

He's a total 360 of what his sister was

She was an easy girl, she went to sleep, she listened

whew... not him maybe it's a boy thing thou

He's into everything, This week he's learned to sneek out of his crib

mattress is lowered as low as it will go.

I have no idea how he's doing it he's so quiet.

I thought for sure I would he grunts, or a boom when he hits the floor

My brother was a handful, he ate plants he was into everything

 including under the sink

So I think my little guy is like his uncle ...lol

Puddle Jumping

After like 3 hours of listening to a certain someone beg to play in the giant mud puddle in the backyard, she even came out with her bathing suit on 

Pouring rain in the a.m. turned into a steamy hot afternoon

So I gave in and let them have at it, Someone was more dainty at the mud puddle jumping then I expected, her brother not so

He charged right in, lost a croc half way thru and travelled on

They splashed and splashed and had a ball

in the mud and the muck

Reminds me when I was little we had a big storm

and our ditches over flowed big time, and all of us neighborhood kids

went swimming... gross yes

But a great childhood memory

Hoping my kids have lots of these

realize sometimes we have to let them go explore

get messy!!

Here's the one shoe off one shoe on, capture mid mud splash

One was soaked, One had splash dots up her legs

Warm Bath afterward and Lunch and everyone was ready for a nap
