Please tell me I’m not the only one…

Last night as I was cleaning, I see my son carrying a few toys  into our room. My husband was in there so I thought he was bringing him a few toys to play with. Well after a few trips of Carson carrying toys and not hearing anyone talk I got a little suspicious. Silence with my son means trouble! Well turns out my husband locked himself in the the other room to study for finals and Carson had  discovered his “alone” time. He decided to stack everything he could find in a huge pile. Oh boy…

Honestly… I just had to laugh!

I’m totally the mom that whips out her camera (I always keep my phone in my pocket) to capture the moment. My mom tells us about a time my little brother frosted our ENTIRE couch with a couple tubs of frosting and she has nothing to prove it. I have tons of picture to prove it and these picture are SO going on his wedding video! muwahaha.

Look at this little trouble maker…

Flooding our house…

Throwing bits of play dough across our entire house…

image

Flushing anything and everything down the toilet..

image

Dumping laundry detergent out…

image

Stuffing pens in the printer…

Okay now this is him just being Mr. independent and making a “cute” mess.

Here he is almost causing another flood.

 This boy is into anything and EVERYTHING! If I leave him alone for one minute I am in big trouble!

    What a cutie! He sounds just like my boys, they are 2 and in to everything! I get worried when they go quiet or run into the room really fast, but like your little one, they are just so cute they get away with it!

      haha I know. Quiet is definitely a BAD sign! The first time it happened I thought… Oh he’s being so nice and quiet. Little did I know!! ;)

    Oh my gosh, he is into alot, isn’t he??? I have my first boy (just turned 2) after two girls, and wow are they different. They definitely get into more mischief. I have to say that Carter hasn’t done quite as much as your son has, but then again he only just turned 2, so I am sure he will find a way to make some big messes! I love that you took all those pictures. He is just adorable – I think I’d let him get away with just about anything =)

    • 5

      haha yes!! I think he got his mamas creativity and his dads brains. He thinks of everything! Let’s hope Carter stays innocent though. Much easier on mom. :)

    Thanks for my morning laugh. My niece was caught drinking, like a dog, out of the dog bowl. What does my sister do, yea, she grabbed the camera. These pictures are priceless and he is just too cute.

    I think I know the feeling. My daughter still 8 months old, but she can already make a loooooooot of mess. And it also the same, if she’s nice, quiet and not making any noise, I know something is wrong, and usually end up with finding a piece of paper or tissue in her mouth.
    I think I might want to get pocket camera as well, so I can capture her “messy” moment. Since I don’t know how to use my husband’s fancy camera :p

    • 9

      haha oh no my son started at 8 months to. As soon as he started crawling I was in trouble!! And ya definitely a pocket camera. Some moms probably think I’m crazy for taking pictures.. but it’ll be fun to look back on and remember this stage.

  6. 10

    Thank god i am not the only one. This is a great post. My son is 2 years he does everything same. I always used to thing capturing them…I really enjoyed the post.

    • 11

      haha yay I’m not the only one!! I think it’s just a 2 year old BOY thing! :)

  7. 12

    Okay, so I have to say you are a lot better than me under pressure! When my twin boys do something similar I am just so freaked out I can’t think of anything but fixing it, not getting out my camera! lol There are so many things I wish I had pictures of now, like the sofa covered in chocolate syrup. :) Thanks for sharing!

      haha oh man I don’t know about that . I definitely have to learn patience with this little boy.
      Chocolate Syrup… That would of been a good picture!! lol

  8. 14

    LOL….Nooooooo you are not alone!!! My middle child who is now 13 was just like thisw…….he had a scissor fetish for quite some time. He cut my phone line while I was talking on the phonew, cut the shower curtain in half and I didn’t notice til I got in the shower and half the curtain was gone. Cut his older brothers hair…..never figured out WHY his brother let him but it was awful. And then there was the dump phase……a whole bottle of shampoo in the shower floor…I like to have broke my neck since it was clear shampoo,

    I could go on and on as I have 5 boys….thank goodness they are old enough to clean messes they make now…..lol

    • 15

      haha oh BOYS! My son has discovered scissors too. I have to hide them ALL! And yes shampoo and bubbles have to be hidden too! Wow 5 boys you must be a saint! :)

  9. 16

    OMG! He is so cute! That’s what I used to say about my baby girl when she would never stop crying….it’s a good thing she’s so precious! LOL.

    You’ve got a little human wrecking ball on your hands! ha ha ha He is adorable! And no, you are most definitely not alone. Like you, I take pictures of it ALL too :)

    Oh my, I was right there with you on the first picture…but then I kept scrolling down, down, down. You must have the patience of a saint! But you totally deserve the “Mom of the Year” award for keeping a sense of humor about it!

    • 24

      lol!! I have definitely had to learn patience with him, but I definitely lose it sometimes!

  15. 25

    You are so not alone. My little man does this all the time! I have plenty of pictures to prove it. I love the first picture of your little guy! Boys are trouble, that’s all there is to say!

  16. 26

    I saw it all the time…it’s a good thing they are cute because if not…I will say that yours does get into a lot more stuff than mine do (we’ve had not real toliet issues yet) but the piling everything up into one room…happens EVERYDAY!?!? Where they find some of the stuff I have no clue…

    when i hear silence I have to say a little prayer!!!

    Have a great week!

    YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY ONE!!! My nephew, 2 years old, dismantled the vacuum cleaner with a fork, took the batteries out of the baby’s toy (and ate them), wrote on the BRAND NEW stained-glass hurricane-proof entry door with silver and red SHARPIES, took an entire watermelon off the counter and was about to dissect it with a butcher knife at 2am when he was caught – and that was just in one week! Boy howdy, y’all have your hands full! :)

    • 29

      hahah oh my gosh that is crazy! I’m so glad he does not get into the knives. That is scary!! haha at 2 am too. Man oh man!

  18. 30

    You are so not alone!!! I love that you took pictures of each thing he did!!! Once my nieces unloaded a huge tub of Vaseline all over their heads and bodies….I would have killed for a picture of that!

    • 31

      haha eek that would be SO hard to get out!! Kids come up with everything!

  19. 32

    I love that you have documented all his mischief with photos! I laughed at every single image! My two year old daughter is very smart and creative so leaving her alone is like scheduling a tornado. Good luck with your cutie!

    • 33

      haha love it! I know you can never leave them alone. It only takes about 30 seconds!

    OH MY GOODNESS, he is a doll! You are so not alone. I have twin boys that are now 4 1/2, and they were totally into everything when they were little. What one didn’t think of, the other one did. I was so stressed out back then because there were two of them. I wish I would have taken pictures. I never thought I would look back and laugh about everything, and wish I still had proof. Your little boy is darling, and is SO curious, I think that is a sign of brilliance :)

    • 35

      haha I’m hoping it’s a sign of brilliance! :) And wow two of him.. I cannot even imagine! You must be super mom!!

    My oldest is a girl, so I’m not used to boys’ antics yet. I gave birth to my second child in March of 2010, an amazing little boy. From what I hear from mommies of boys around the world… I better get ready for bigger messes, sneakier sneakiness, more crazy energy and lots of broken stuff. :) Your pics confirm all that I’ve been hearing.

    Ha! I always say God makes ‘em really cute at this age because if they weren’t so darn cute, you wouldn’t be able to stand them!!! And yes, as Tonya just said, it’s totally a boy thing – everything in my house/yard/car has been destroyed. Sometimes I say, “Why do you destroy things?” but alas, he has no answer :) Thanks for sharing the fun!

    My oldest boy started walking at 8 months. I put bells on his shoes and put his shoes on every day. When the bells stopped jingling, I went running…. Saved me a lot of grief. When our daughter came along and started walking, I put bells on her shoes, too. After running a number of times when the jingling stopped and finding her quietly reading a book or playing with her dollies, I took them off. Boys and girls are definitely different… Gotta love them all.

    • 47

      Lol that is a GREAT idea!! I really hope my girl is the same way! That would be a relief.

    OH. MY. GOSH!!
    Thank you for sharing this!! It definitely gave me a smile; I can’t believe he did ALL that!! I love the first flooding pic of him exiting the bathroom all wet and a look of success on his face..haha! And stuffing pens in the printer and pulling off keyboar keys?!? At a certain point, you just laugh because what else can you do? :)

      haha I know his face when i walked in was classic!! mission accomplished! haha and yes sometimes you just gotta laugh. life would be boring other wise..

    My daughter was only 13.5 months when my son was born (he will be 4 Wed- sad!!) She quickly learned that when I was nursing her brother, that she had free reign. One day, she coated herself and the bathroom in baby lotion. Another, she dumped a gallon, yes a GALLON of vegetable oil all over the kitchen floor. Trying to catch & remove a 13.5 month old from an oily slippery mess was like trying to catch a greased pig!! I laughed until I cried…then I called my husband to come home & help me clean up! :) Thankfully now that they are 5 & almost 4, I don’t worry as much when I’m nursing their new sister! (3 months tomorrow!)

    • 52

      oh my gosh a gallon of vegetable oil. i would die!! haha yes it always happens when i’m nursing. smart kids!

  31. 53

    Ha…too funny! You are not alone! It reminds me of my second born…and she was a girl, so I so was not expecting it! One of my favorites once when she unrolled all the toilet paper rolls in the bathroom! We have pics of her sad face when we told her she had to roll them all back up! :) And then there was the time she decided to face paint her baby sister green for St. Patrick’s Day! It was crazy! At one point I even considered removing EVERYTHING from her bedroom, because she’d empty everything out of drawers, etc during the night! But one day you’ll look back and laugh and actually miss it! She’s in high school now and very sweet…and calm! :)

    He is cute and no unfortunately he is not the only one! My worst one is now a mommy of her own adorable monsters and payback is tough! She did all those things and cut off her long beautiful hair numerous times…to the scalp and at the most inopportune times! Like my sisters wedding ect. Love that girl though! Good luck and remember it takes high intelligence to think of all those things and explore for the answers!

    • 58

      oh my gosh to the scalp… how sad!! i have a feeling this will probably happen in the future since i’m a hair dresser and they see me cutting peoples hair. haha and yes it definitely takes some intelligence!

  35. 59

    No wonder you love naptime! Haha! I have a 28 month old and a 14 month old. I always take pictures of them getting into messes before telling them no – probably totally confusing them!

    Nope, definitely not alone. Unfortunately the older they get the “child-proofing” doesn’t even help the little bit that it once did. I try to keep good humor about my 5 year-old doing things like that, but it tends to teach my 2 year-old that it’s okay for her to do those things too. I am definitely with you on the keeping pictures for future use! :)

  38. 63

    hahahahaha! He is DEFINITELY not the only one! My he sure is, um, “busy” though. I’d suggest putting a bell on him, but that’s just one more thing to flush. :) I think that amount of curiosity is a sign of high intelligence. :)

    Oh man I’m so terrified of having boys for this reason. Although I know girls can be just as naughty. He sure is cute though! He’s just active and likes the explore new things :) gosh he sure is cute…making a mess or not! You are such a good mom. I would probably be at my wits end only because I HATE messes. I’m sure my personality will change a hundred fold when I have kids lol. He will love this pictures when he’s older!!

    • 66

      lol i know seriously! I used to be such a clean freak!! I hate messes. But honestly I’ve learned to let a few things go. I tidy during nap time and then once he’s in bed. Then when he’s awake it’s just messy! haha

  40. 67

    Wow. You just gave me flashbacks. My Buddy was EXACTLY the same way. Into everything and with an insatiable curiosity, but just so dang cute it was hard to stay mad for long. He’s 15 now. That curiosity has taken on a level of intensity that’s hard to explain. Good luck and get your rest when you can. You’re probably going to need it.

All the meanwhile I was chasing around a bee in our house trying to kill it. lol! Seriously 1 minute and my house was flooded!

    My son used to stack up everything on our couch and say ‘Look mummy I’m playing garbage”. I think it’s the start of a creative career, perhaps engineering…..but he tells me demolition.

And I no longer have a 4… awesome, right? And he just moved to a toddler bed, so I can’t lock him in his crib prison any more. I think he’s three times as much trouble now that he can get out of bed on his own!! Oh, boys! =] Love ‘em!

He’s flooded our bathroom more than once, actually ruining our vanity. He put a whole new bag of baby wipes in the toilet to purposely plug it so he could use the plunger to then fling water everywhere… he wrote on our couch with sharpie, he constantly piles toys and blankets and such in the hallway, he throws toilet paper bits all over the place, you can’t let him near cd’s or dvd’s, he’s pulled apart my wooden planter outside and trailed the potting soil everywhere, he took the shoelaces and strings out of all his sweatshirts and tied them together… I could go on and on and on!!! :) We should have a link party where mom’s of boys can link up their horror stories with pictures. Wait a minute. I think I’m totally going to do that. And you’re invited!

    Oh my, we don’t have to worry about the toilet yet because its gated off, but everytime I leave the room my little guy (2) is into or ontop of everything. He was literally sitting on the counter one time with a sharpe, and he loves to tackle his 1-year-old sister anytime I turn around, usualy they both laugh, but when I am out of the room she is less tha thrilled :). So glad I am not the only one. Thanks for sharing.

    This post made me laugh out loud when I saw these pics, cause it was just yesterday when I caught my 2 year old son in the bathroom flushing his toys down the toilet. Trust me, you are NOT alone!

    DEFINITELY NOT!!! I’m saving all of Alie’s “I’m such an innocent princess” pics for future reference too! :)

    LOL, what a cutie.. and he makes his own sandwiches at an early age!
    You’re not alone. I’ve had mine play slip and slide with oil, decorate a room with toothpaste, tried to recreate birth of man on my wall with markers (not), re-potting my plants into the carpet.. with 5 kids I could go on and on! I’m pregnant with my 6th now so I wonder what he’s going to be like!

    Love this post! I laughed so hard, I had tears running. My oldest son was like that. You couldn’t leave him alone for a minute. If he was quiet, you knew something was going on. I would take 30 seconds to pee, and he’d be able to paint nail polish half way through the walls of the whole house. He was just so darn fast. Thanks for the laughs and the trip down memory lane.

    I love this post. No, you are not the only one. I have two of these!!! My twin boys are two and they are literally non-stop. We also have twins girls who are five and I always say that they were false advertising because they are so good. My husband says if the boys were first we would only have two kids. I have a feeling that when they all become teenagers that the rols will reverse.

    Oh my gosh i am totally with you!! My son is incredibly sneaky! As soon as i saw the picture of your son going through the wallet i was like “yup it must be a boy thing!” My son will single handily destroy every room in a matter of minutes! I hope he is getting out of this phase since he will be turning 3. But Ive got another one coming that is almost walking. Its just the joys of motherhood i guess! =]

    You are not the only one! Yesterday my boy filled his gumboots (rubber boots) with orange juice, well actually just one boot. Then took his orange dinosaur stamp to a picture hanging on the wall, the picture said “Keep Calm and Carry On”, good advice based on the situation I think!
    There was definitely an orange theme yesterday, it is also his favourite colour!
    Yes boys, gotta love them!

    I am sooo glad I found your blog. My almost 2 year old is so Naughty!!! He’s gotten the iron out of the laundry room and plugged it in and burnt his hand, drawn all over the walls and my white cabinets with crayons, permanent marker and a wood stain pen. he’s climbed on the counter gotten into the knives and murdered all the bananas, has tried to peel potatoes, Make toast (which happened yesterday I was feeding his little brother and smelled something burning and thought to myself “I’m not cooking anything?” I run into the kitchen to find him standing on his little table with a empty bread bag and flames coming up out of the toaster. Somedays I just want to weep lol.

    Hi jamilyn,

    I feel very emphatic, yes I am. I have a 4 yo lil girl, and sometimes I think that I am getting crazy and crazier every day because of her “inspiration ideas” (as she says, could you believe it?)
    When she was two one day she took my lipstick and paint in the sofa, other day she took her crayons and paint all the walls of the house ALL. Well, I think all kids at some point have this kind of “creative moments”, but what can I say I love my lil girl just the way she is, with her ocurrencies, and all her stuff. I wont change a thing of her. no no no.
    kids are the best for a mom. tks for sharing your mommy issues. :)
    rgds, dalys

    For goodness sakes! I am just glad I am not the only one that has a precious, rambunctious little boy. Daven and Carson could be best friends destroying one space at a time. “/
