Oh all I can do is lol when I read all of these! I am not alone!!!! He is a pretty rough and tumble boy. He likes all things dirty, gross, sneaky, stinky, and downright naughty. Except heights, he is petrified of heights. Go figure. A friend just gave us a battery opperated motorcycle with training wheels that drives around the yard and driveway. I have caught him standing up riding with both feet on the one side of the bike several times now. Heartattack.Waiting.To.Happen.
At Grandma's last week, he found an earthworm, and very kindly brought it in the house to show her, and plopped it on the kitchen table. Just for Grandma, love Ashton.
So, lesson learned, I will not sew or cut anything with my little one awake. Ever.
My sisters, mom and I were talking about funny old stories on Mother's day, and one remembered was when mom was sewing. Underneath her sewing table was my two older sisters and myself, but she couldn't see us. They decided to put a (somewhat tight) plastic bag over my head and see what happens. My mom caught them as I was turning purple :)

My hero hands down was Evel Kenievel (I just dated myself :lol: ) and we used to get all of the neighbors garbage cans and jump them on our bikes until we could not jump any farther. You never lived until you have a Schwinn Stingray (dated myself again) flying over metal garbage cans!!! Lets just say that there was not a straight trash can on my street.
The man!!!

You SHOULD sew when he's awake!!! How else will he learn to not do the wrong thing??? Next time though, give him some stuff to work on himself. Boys CAN and SHOULD learn to sew! I always did crafts when the kids were little......and now my daughter is a crafter!!!! My son works doing the garage stuff.

Oh, yea..... Had that happen once to a quilt that was in the hoop being hand quilted... Son took tons of tiny snips in about three of the pieces... Got it repaired. I was angry for a little while. But you do laugh about it. You laugh because it's easier... And who could be angry at that little guy.

I went back and read all the previous entries and laughed until the tears came. It's wonderful knowing I'm not the only one with a mischievous little boy who didn't always leave the scissors alone (fortunately now, he sticks to paper), or instead of keeping it in his diaper he'd paint it on the crib and wall, or dump containers of stuff to watch the mess, or overflow the bathroom the sink, or empty a tissue box or container of baby wipes, .....
... And they look at you and your anger melts away ....
