It's a Miracle We Have Men in this World!!!

How do they survive to manhood?

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

It seems my days with boys are filled with
one near-death experience
after another,
after another!!!

I have often thought
God must have a really great sense of humor,
sending me two perfect, angelic girls,
then ...
two BOYS!!!

Jeepers, am I learning a LOT!

Like, you can't go downstairs for 30 seconds!

Because when you come back up,
you'll be met by your 17-month-old
standing at the top of the stairs,
holding a LARGE piece of broken glass in his hands!



Really ... he was!
How the heck do boys survive toddler-hood?



Anyhow, at least I've learned to not scream 
when encountered with these situations!

I just gather up the little perpetrator,
put him in a safe place (like there really are any with this guy and his brother),
and try to secure the surroundings as best I can.



Thank heavens for duct tape!



Fortunately, he got over his time being a detainee ...



... and found a new favorite place to play,
The Kitchen Sink!

Don't worry, I've unplugged the garbage disposal!
(I'm learning, slowly but surely, I'm learning.)

My kids just don't fit the usual boy/girl attitudes and personalities. My son=angelic, easy, cautious. My daughter= miracle she is still alive, fearless, dare devil, into everything.

That is scary. You're better than me, I would have screamed my head off, he would have shattered the glass with fear! Glad he is ok. Also, I love your new header. The picture of the boy is a classic!

Yikes! I'm glad he is ok! My only child is a boy and even though he is only 13 months old, I totally know what you are talking about! He's a fearless animal already. Trying to dive head first off anything whenever he sees the chance, tackling me if he sees me laying on the floor...I could go on and on. *lol* He scares me almost everyday! And what scares me even more is what he'll be like when he's older!

Oh my. I knew there was a reason I spend so much time cuddling this precious, non-threatening, and sweet little (immobile) bundle of joy! How much time do I have??
p.s. I love the family photo a few posts down!

They can truly scare the heck out of us at times. Thank heavens he was not hurt.
