The Terrible Twos

Ever since we got home from our Christmas holiday, Jack has been a handful, well more like 5 handfulls. Honestly, he is constantly causing havoc. This morning he was up and at'em at 7:30 (a rare sleeping in from his usual 6:30 wake up time). Darrel got up and went to go supervise him. I woke up at 8:30 and thought, "Well we better hurry if we are going to be to church on time". We have to leave by about 9:25, and Darrel was speaking at church today so being on time was rather important. I hear happy little pitter patter and think, "ah, husband and son playing together, nice." I get up and walk to the bathroom, and this is what I see. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Darrel had fallen asleep on Jack's bed and I was still asleep in our bed so Jack took the opportunity to do a little redecorating -of the bathroom and himself.

Despite a huge clean up job we managed to be sitting in our pew prior to the start of church.


I also have to say I'm pretty proud of the calm cool manner in which we handled this. There was no yelling at Jack nor at eachother, "YOU were supposed to be watching him!" " YOU shouldn't leave your makeup bag out on the counter!"

I'm just hoping that this is not a downhill slide that continues over the next year. The terrible twos don't officially start for another 3 weeks here and it's going to be a LONG year if this gets any worse! LOL!
