A Little Bit of Our Day...

...or otherwise known as "Toddler is Cooped Up and Mommy is Running Out of Ways to Entertain Him."

First of all, 3 time outs in 15 minutes. When you figure that his timeouts are 2 minutes each, well, that's a whopping 9 minutes of non-timeout time. 9 minutes broken down into about 3 minutes of behaving, 3 minutes of winding up to misbehave, and 3 minutes of him hitting me. Sigh. I should've known we'd regret that gluten-loaded soft pretzel at Target today. (Remind me to post about our gluten-free journey someday.)

And, phrases like "Don't hit your activity table with the plastic spoon." "We don't throw dinosaurs across the room." "Stop blowing spit bubbles all over Mommy's jeans." And my favorite: "Watch where you swing your lightsaber."

Ah, the days of toddlerhood. :) They are so wonderful...and yet, so challenging. Most days our house stays pretty darn clean, but today it seriously looks like a tornado went through the house and destroyed everything in it's path. (Despite my constant efforts to keep cleaning.)

He's been playing with his kitchen a lot today, but mostly we've had a pretty lazy day filled with not doing a whole lot of exciting things...but that's ok. We're all entitled to a day like that...I should've known how the day would have gone when I didn't even make the beds. Haha.

Alright. Time to go...I've got a toddler that is attempting to make himself into a bridge between the couch and coffee table. :)
