Well, this has been quite a week filled with destruction. I've noticed a pattern that when Michael David gets sick he seems to go into destructive mode. He gets really bad sores all over his body from eczema and seems to be hyper-active b/c when he sits he cries and itches non-stop.
He came downstairs to find Jonathan and me playing and said, "Mommy, Michael made a mess." I asked what he did and he proceeded to say, "Michael spilled salt in the kitchen." I knew right then it had to be the sugar I left out on the counter for my morning coffee. I told him that if he dumped it out on the floor that he would get a spanking b/c we've talked about these kinds of things before (his past time favorite is going into the pantry, retrieving cereal boxes and dumping them out on the floor). He then ran up the stairs and when Jonathan and I found him, he was trying to clean up all the sugar with his play shovel. Really, he was just spreading it all over the floor. "Michael clean up!" he exclaimed. Later that same day he confessed to drawing on the wall with chalk and on my parents' oven with crayon. Yesterday, I thought he was playing nicely downstairs but then heard him in the bathroom trying to flush the toilet. I found the whole roll of toilet paper in the toilet and the water just about to overflow onto the ground. Yes, I had to reach in that nasty toilet to save myself from an even bigger clean up! Friday night Jon also found a puzzle letter in the CF slot of our computer. It will have to be retrieved by a professional...Jon pushed it farther up when trying to get it out. Let's just say mommy had to pray a lot this week for patience in training and disciplining!

Oh Hannah! Peter used to do stuff like that too- cracked a dozen eggs on the floor when he was under 2 (after getting them out of the fridge by himself)- yeah, you never forget those crazy things they do! Watch out, he's probably just really smart.
