Mommy's Mr. Fixit

                It finally happened, the moment all mothers wait for expectantly… to hear those to syllables usher forth from your darling baby’s mouth. Mmmmaaaammmmaaaa!@?  Why is it that daddy/dada is so much happier sounding? He’s been regularly saying dada now for over two months. It’s his favorite happy sound. DaDa DADADADA! Aahhyeee! DADADADA *giggle*. Now he makes mama sound like a dirty word. SCREEECH, MMMmm*sniffle*mmAAAAmmmmmAAAAaAAaaaaAAA!!! Followed by a desperate plea to be held via thetugonmommysleguntilshehastopickmeup method. I think us moms should revolt… we got gyped. We should have a happy sounding name… like lala, or aahhyeee! Of course I’m still open to alternative suggestions, but you get my drift.

Also Jaden’s new favorite toys are actually Charly’s tools. He LOVES playing with the wrench, pliers and hammer. He especially likes the way they sound when they are banged against one another. Well, Mr. fixit Jaden was sitting happily playing one afternoon when suddenly out the blue (or grey as it may be) he decided he was starving and had to eat RIGHT NOW! So I picked him up (having expected this turn of events as it was nearing his nap time) and proceeded to feed him. I had the cover on b/c we had company over and I wasn’t paying much attention when suddenly I felt this cold object pinching the daylights out me. I looked down to see Mr. fixit had pulled a wrench out of his onsie! He was trying to fit it in his mouth without losing his grip on lunch.

                This as it turned out was just the beginning however… recently I’ve found him hiding all kinds of contraband items in his onsie, such as toilet paper, paper, and macadamia nuts. I caught him actually eating some tissues on the bed and took them from him… he cried like I’d somehow broken the code, and promptly turned his back on me. I thought he was either mad and tuning me out, or had found some other fascinating object to taste. But nooo, he’s pulling the remaining bits of tissue out of the butt of his onsie! I think my lil man is almost too smart for his own good.
