Now, let's talk about this for a minute! My specific instructions were "Simon, eat your cereal like a big boy while mommy takes a quick shower." Simple enough, right? Now, you professional moms out there could rattle off the million mistakes I made right there in that moment. What word exactly didn't he understand? Was it "eat", "big boy", or "quick"? I can tell you which words he DID understand...."mommy take a shower", which in baby language obviously means "sweet, mom's going to be out of sight for 7.5 minutes! Make as big of a mess as possible!". For those of you wondering, yes 7.5 minutes is a quick shower for me! Don't judge me for enjoying my shower! Needless to say this was one of those days where I thought "why do I even bother trying to clean my house, or dress my kid? " And you might think the look on Simons face is one of "hey look what a big boy I am?", but being his mom, I know better. That look is "OK, I surrender, I'll "stick 'em up!"

You know - I think you were just lucky that the mess was in a fairly contained space. Andrew gave up the high chair about a year ago which means, even my walls are dirty! How can they do so much damage in such a short amount of time?? Cute boy though. That picture is priceless!
Okay, that is my favorite post ever! So funny...so cute..and I love the way you worded it. I miss you Simon!
This had me laughing so hard! Rayden use to be the same way with food. Now he is that way with toys!
I agree with hayley! Thanks. I needed a laugh today!
oh girl.... you are in for it. I can promise you from having 2 boys this is just the tip of the ice berg. It sickly comforting that I am not the only mommy with kids who can make a mess when my back is turned for a minute. But seriously how can you be mad at something so darn cute?!
Now, how can you get mad at a face like that, too cute. I love that smile. Yesterday, I signed "all done" to Isa after dinner, so she took the tray off her (which was still covered in peas and yogurt). I thought, okay that was my own fault!
I forgot to mention above, she took the tray off, and then it nailed the floor (with the peas and yogurt)....that's what brooms and rags are for I guess
I'm afraid I'm gonna wake up all the kids I am laughing so hard! Messy as he is, I still just wanna kiss that cute face!
He is so funny! Trayson misses him so much! Love, Breje
