...Someone's in BIG trouble!!

David actually turned 2 in September but wow, did he ever start to show it last weekend. It was literally one thing after another. Trouble, trouble, and more trouble! It started last Friday night when he was being naughty at the dinner table. Every bite we would give him he would promptly spit right back out. We sent him to his room for a time out and assumed that he really did go to his room. Jason and I were just eating our dinner and discussing our next move with him when Jason jumped up and went running because he heard something. Instead of going to his room David had gone into Jason's office and grabbed his wallet down off of the ironing board. He had pulled every one of Jason's credit cards , including his debit card and his Costco membership card and had sent each of them through the shredder! Yup-every single one-in pieces! What a little turkey! We were so mad but we kind of couldn't help but see some humor in it. Jason ordered all new cards and has since had them all replaced.

On Sunday morning while getting ready for church David somehow got a hold of two of Jason's brass collar stays. We heard him screaming and found that he had stuck them both in an outlet. His hand was black, the outlet was black, the collar stays were warped , and the electricity had been shorted. Although we were mad and stunned that he had done such a thing we were very relieved that he had not been seriously hurt. We figured he probably got a good shock but we also figured that that would probably be what keeps him from doing it again...nope! The other day we caught him trying to put Jason's truck key in the same outlet!

Then on Monday morning I laid down for a bit after breakfast while David was watching his shows on the Disney channel. After a few minutes Jason came in and told me that David had been dumping sugar into the dishwasher! When I went out to calculate the damage I found him in the pantry closet taking sugar from the bag with a measuring cup, dumping it into his toy bucket and then taking it to the dishwasher and filling every compartment he could find! I had to scoop out the sugar with a spoon, vacuum out the rest, and then run the dishwasher twice to clean it out.

David is obviously obsessed with all things electrical and he's also obsessed with cooking and cleaning. It is a regular occurrence to find that he has dragged the vacuum cleaner out of the closet and plugged it in. Or he has emptied out two packs of baby wipes this week and I find him wiping down the walls and outlets with the wipes. One swipe with one wipe and then it's on to a new wipe! I have also caught him with a spray bottle many times spraying down the computer, the keyboard and the outlets in Jason's office! Amazingly, so far, the computer has lived through it and so has David!

That's just some of the latest of a day in the life of David. All of you with two year olds...God bless!
