Sometimes I am baffled by the amount of trouble one little person can cause. One toddler that is. We happen to have one right now that is all hands. I assume Alex dreams about what to get into next, and where to go find trouble. It could be pulling Holly's hair, taking apart all of Lincoln's legos, unfolding the laundry faster than I can re fold it, or going through every and any drawer in the house. He can find trouble anywhere. He doesn't like to sit still, or relax, just play. It is cute, but sometimes I end up scratching my head at the things he does.
Last week he appeared out of nowhere with a tiny chip on one of his front teeth. Where did it come from? What happened? Did he fall? No clue. He has always been a daredevil. When he was maybe 9 mo. old he fell down a babysitters stairs. We have no idea how, or if he was knocked out, we had to wake him up every couple of hours for 2 or 3 nights, to make sure he was alright.
I really had thought that he had experienced his share of the toddler trauma, but today he crawled on the kitchen table, because Holly was eating pineapple, and he wanted some. Instead of going off the way he went up, he decided dangle his legs off the side and jump right down. You may be thinking, where is the Mother...? Right here, watching it all. He crawls up there so much and is usually very methodical about getting down. I think I was in fact asking him nicely to get of the table, when he scooted right off, and did a nice big belly flop. He didn't get the wind knocked out of him, or break anything, but he did get a bloody nose. Something he's never had before. However I am sure more are to come. Because as nice and cute, and funny as he is, he is a daredevil through and through. Personally I think he gets it from his two Grandpa's! Really I do. And just for explanation, the picture of Alex in his car seat was minutes after we gave him ONE oreo cookie on a road trip.
