It seems that allot of people are posting about how they can't keep up with their son.  How weird it is that he is climbing on everything and getting into everything.  This quite frankly makes me chuckle with glee.  Why?  Because all four of my boys have at some point or another gotten into everything and climbed on everything.  Levi was taking baby gates apart with screw drivers at the age of two.  He even removed the doors to our entertainment center once with a found screw driver from his dads pocket.  ALL of our kids climbed over gates, on top of the cabinets, and out of their cribs.  Also they all were in the ER at some point or another before the age of two.  The buddies got into the cereal and poured out more than one container, of the flavor of the month at the time.  They drew all over my bathroom cabinets with water proof eyeliner and lipstick one Christmas Eve.  Wyatt drew on the hallway walls with a Sharpie right after we moved here, he was 2.  He also painted on my kitchen cabinets and the old kitchen closet doors.  This year alone we have had three staples in the head, three x-rays, five stitches, and two chins glued shut with Durmabond.  My point?  It is normal boy behavior.  They are rambunctious.  They make huge messes.  They get hurt in freak accidents.  It makes them who they are, and I wouldn't change a thing about them.  I love my sons, they have made me a better person, wife, mom, sister, daughter, aunt.  My mom always said God knows who to give boys to, and to that I say..... THANK YOU!

Merry Christmas Eve-Eve!!  It is "Major Cleaning Day" here, gotta go.
