Very Naughty

Nate has become increasingly naughty lately. Maybe it has something to do with now being a toddler. He is a fairly verbal guy so his favorite game is to throw things on the floor (the messier, the better), smile widely and say "uh oh!" while pointing at his poor prey that is now scattered all over the floor. Favorites tend to be food, his cup or bottle full of milk (top down, of course, so it leaks!) and anything that appears to be mine.

Another recent favorite activity is to break into all of our kitchen and bathroom cabinets when he is left to explore for a few minutes. Luckily, he has uncovered the Rubbermaid cabinet since at first he was fixated on the cabinet filled with appliances. So, I pretend to be "shocked!" at his discovery when he starts pulling out our plastic containers and tell him "no, no. no!" as he dumps them all over the place. What better way to encourage him to play with the things we really do not mind than reverse psychology??!?! :)

Caught red-handed!


So fresh!
