On Tuesday I started my holiday cooking and Cody was right there to taste every single thing that I made and with every single ingredient I added, he thought he had to have another taste. He had cookie dough, rice crispy treats, decoration sprinkles, chocolates, fudge dough, and fudge (after it was done) and then a few cookies and frosting as I was frosting the cookies. I kept trying to tell him that his tummy was going to hurt and finally made him leave the kitchen and the table so I could finish up cooking/frosting. Well, sure enough Wed. it hit him with a vengeance. He was in the bathroom quite a lot and complaining that his tummy hurt every time. But do you think that would stop him? He's back asking for candy today!! Crazy kids...
And then it was my turn...
I should know better than to ever turn my back or rather take a shower and not keep a eye on Cody (don't ask me how to do that while taking a shower). Anyhow, so I noticed that he had found a Black Sharpie marker and it was on his toy chest. I saw a few marks on his measuring board on the wall and one mark on his wall but I figured no harm done and quickly took the Sharpie marker to put it in a safe high place. When I later walked into my bedroom to get laundry together, to my surprise was a lot more marker on my wall!!! I called him into the room calmly and asked him what he did. He told me that he drew me a race track on my wall!! It's hard to be mad when they say cute innocent things like that. I emphasized the idea that we only write on paper! I have never really had the "we don't write on walls" talk yet, but I guess I got to learn the hard way that it's never too early to have that talk. So all of you out there with little boys who haven't had this talk...it may be time.
