It's taken me 8 years but I think I am finally letting some things go as a parent. Things that I would have previously freaked out about now roll off me like water. It's kind of liberating! I can now step back and be the parent I wanted to be...the one who could look at a situation and not get mad but grab the camera and have a good laugh before cleaning up the inevitable mess. Years ago my mom said, "Remember their age." Indeed remember their curious exploring age. I have quit trying to figure out what they were thinking and just enjoy their learning,even if it does take extra minutes or hours cleaning up after them. Of course, after the incident I do have to let them know what they did was probably not a good idea...but it sure was funny!
Ethan LOVES hard boiled eggs. We don't have any that are currently hard boiled. While I was taking a shower Ethan decided that a hard boiled egg would be a great snack. He got an egg out of the refrigerator, put it on a plate, and placed it in the microwave. As I was getting out of the shower I thought I heard a loud pop but dismissed it as the neighbors are doing some landscaping. Well...here's what I found when I went downstairs. Eggs anyone?

So so gross. That's one I would have saved for Hans:)
Want to hike the incline with me? Can your knees hack it? I need a hiking partner...Can we make it to the top? No babies on board. Nothing in our way....
I could hike the incline. I haven't done it before but I've hiked the peak several times. Going up isn't a problem. Going down might hurt a little but nothing some Ibuprofen couldn't handle! When do you want to go?
Oh my goodness! What a huge mess but that is pretty dang funny. How smart of him to think that yes the egg needed to be cooked and that the microwave might be the best option!
I'm sorry, but that's awesome! So glad you can laugh and take pictures instead of getting mad!
oh dear! boys get into such trouble when their moms are in the shower!
I've been smiling all day over this one. Our little Ethan is so much like his "Mommy". You are the best Mom...so much better than I was. Love you. Mom
