i've learned a lot being a mom to this particular little guy.
1. if it is within arm's reach, it is fair game.
2. we don't do anything walking or sitting, generally we are running if not sprinting.
3. if he is not supposed to have it, he will find it and put it in his mouth.
4. when we are done with our food or drink, we don't just stop eating or drinking, we wing everything as far as we can across the room (yes this happens EVERY time he is done taking a drink...tillie has been bonked on the head multiple times with a flying sippy cup when she is trying to lick up every last morsel that made it to the floor)
5. if mommy puts something INSIDE (a drawer, basket, cupboard, etc) that is obviously a cue to take it back out (and vice versa)
6. why place things or set things down when you can throw them (particularly the mulch outside)
7. if there is a more dangerous way to do things, that is the preferred method
and many, many, many more lessons from being a mommy to the little guy that everyone's first comment after being with him is "HE IS ALL BOY".
as much as he runs around in a day, he has probably earned this marathon medal...


I SO need to play with this little dude this summer! I loved your post -- gave me a little glimpse of a 1yr old Evan, since the last I knew, he was still a baby!
