Up until about a month ago, I thought L was a different kind of kid. We didn’t have any horror stories that had to do with L getting into something he wasn’t supposed to and wreaking havoc with it. I began to think that we had lucked out. Maybe there was something about L’s temperament that kept him out of such trouble. I was wrong. He just hadn’t reached the right age yet. Last week he discovered how fun it was to give the toilet paper roll a good spin and watch it unravel, a discovery that has landed him on the naughty chair several times. Yesterday, while Pam was at work and L was having his bath, he decided that it would be fun to take the water that was in the tub and dump it out beside the tub. I’m surprised the neighbours downstairs didn’t have water leaking from their ceiling. This morning, while I was working in the kitchen, L came from the other room carrying a spool of thread he had found near Pam’s sewing machine and announced that he was putting “a string around the house.” Sigh.
He must be part-cat to love the toilet paper roll so much! 😉 The flooded bathroom is too familiar. It’s surprising to open the door to check on the kids, and ‘sploosh’ goes your foot. Not cool. But makes a good story later. 🙂
