My "Naunie Jack-Jack"

I was talking to my mom tonight telling her just how naughty my little Jack had been today, and she thought I should write down some of the naughty things he's done. It seems my little gremlin can't be fed, get wet, or be left a lone for even a second at any point of the day (not just after midnight).

Let me tell you some of his most recent "adventures"...Well, the other day he was eating Cheetos, I THOUGHT at the kitchen table, HA! I found him in the living room rubbing his orange hands all over my white fluffy kitty Laya, because they were "a mess mamma". Laya was seriously completely orange, I ended up having to give her a bath and scrub her fur. Needless to say, her fur is still a tinted orange color and she may never be the same after the cheeto incident or bath. Sigh..

Maybe some of you saw the awesome "Stary Night" scene Jack drew all over the glider-rocker in his room? Ya..that was an awesome day. He was actually in time-out at the time and decided it would be a good idea to draw all over the glider with a black pen. It took me 3 hours to scrub it out with a toothbrush & windex believe it or not, but luckily it came out.

A month or two ago Jack colored on my wall with silver sharpie. He was able to color seriously halfway to the top of the ceiling (I don't know how), but he was thorough. That required painting over his masterpiece, a pretty easy fix. I almost wanted to just leave it because he was so proud. He came up to me while I was making the bed and said, "Mamma, I color." He then took my hand and showed me, I'll admit I laughed a little at this.

Or the time I walked into the bathroom and found the whole tub was pink..He had emptied the entire bottle of Chris' Axe body wash into the tub, at least he smelled good.

Or how he will never get tired of emptying the cats food into the water dish....He does this AT LEAST 3 times a week.
Well today, Jack's listening skills (once again) seemed to have gone out the window. After a tuff morning of constant struggles over, movies, breakfast, and a surprising amount of those limp noodle tantrums on the floor. I put him in the tub to see if this would calm him down. While I went to go grab him some clean underwear and the baby lotion I hear, "Uh-oh, Jack-Jack go potty in tubbie." I was HOPING he had gone pee...but nope, I just wasn't that lucky. He had been stopped up for a few days so it wasn't just an easy clean up. I about died. I seriously just wanted to burn the house down, just so I didn't have to clean up the mess. He had of course dumped the entire bath toy box into the tub so that made things just a BIT more interesting as well...After I had cleaned the tub and re-bathed him I kinda just fell apart...and cried while I changed him into his clothes. Jack's been potty training and I've never had to deal with cleaning up any poop accidents because he HATES being messy. This was so unlike him, so I was a little bit frustrated and a lot a bit frazzled. Jack must have felt bad because he said, "sarny momma, Jack-Jack go poo-poo in potty". And proceeded to tell me 6 more times when he had to use the potty.

There are SO many more stories, probably about 5 a day so these are just a few of them. I just have to laugh sometimes because after he has done something naughty he will say, "Naunie Jack-Jack" and he always says "sarny momma" and gives me lots of hugs and kisses. He also must think I'm magic or something because after he breaks something or colors on a piece of furniture he will say, "Momma can fix it" and say "YAY momma!" After whats ever broken is fixed or whats ever is messy is cleaned. He definitely knows I'll love him know matter what though, what with the cheshire cat smile he throws my way after I've cleaned up (yet another) of his gigantic messes...

If anything, he is thorough..

 Pink tub
 Can you see the orange tint? Weeks after getting lathered in cheeto dust.
 My pretty wall..the light socket is still silver.

This made me laugh out loud Brit. I know how you feel about the bath tub incident. Lucky for me ALL the toys weren't in there. But, I can look back and laugh now. He is such a precious boy. I am glad you are writing down these moments.
