I don't. Well, at least not in this state of being... peaceful, quiet, still...
His face is familiar-- he's often identified as a "mini-me" of his daddy. Also resembles me a bit... mostly at times like this when he's peaceful, quiet and still... (heh, heh, heh)
19 months old is a BUSY age. And he's a boy. Those of you who have experienced this know. (Or, if you're my friend Becky you know 3 identical times over!!! How DO you do it????) And those who haven't experienced it, but may someday... fair warning! You laugh a lot, but get exasperated a lot too. Just in the last 24 hours, Grant has:
- pulled a full coffee cup from the counter onto the carpet and his shoes
- explored the science of floating objects in the toilet (from pinecones to plastic food)
- pushed his toy lawnmower across the street (unsupervised)
- applied chapstick to his forehead and partially eaten the remaining portion
- turned living room furniture upside down and arranged on a different side of the room
- driven his hot wheels bike through three rooms of the house (including navigating stairs) and crash landed in the living room
- dumped sand over his and his sisters' heads
- while naked preparing for the bath (after the sand incident) I heard his sister yell "Who pooped on the carpet?!?"
- precariously tipped a framed photo on the wall
- dumped a bowl of mandarin oranges on the floor and fingerpainted with the juice
- pushed his lawnmower across the street (unsupervised) AGAIN
- thrown laundry over the banister
- turned all electric viewing devices on.. and off... and on... and off... then on again
You get the gist. And I'm not complaining--I love being a mom. I never know what's coming next! I don't recognize him sleeping because when he's asleep, SO AM I!!! I crash... as hard as he does.
I did find a video that more accurately depicts my son's personality:
After my restful night (he sleeps WELL), I awoke this morning to my 4 year old Allison yelling... "MAAAAWMMMM!!! Grant is in TRUUUUBULLLL!" In my half asleep state I have enough sanity to know the potential disaster behind the situation... "What is it, Allison?" I frantically reply.
She shakes her head..."This time it's REALLY bad."
Good morning, mom..... and we're off!!!

Gotta love those active boys!! Believe me it gets better...they are still very active and dirty, but it's more controlled and a lot more fun!!
Love it! The Tazmanian Devil pretty much sums it up (x3) They are great and they are even better when they are sleeping. I loved your comment on the bottom too about Allison...oh, so familiar.
