This is what I came down to one morning a couple weeks ago. The boys were quite busy while I was upstairs getting ready for the day. Little did I know I
should've been getting ready for an hour + of cleaning up a sloppy mess. This was the only picture I took before I was thoroughly disgusted and
whisked Gideon out of the
salmonella pit.
Anyway, this morning Jordon learned where the eggs were kept (while Brandon got in the fridge and was attempting to make his own popsicles-don't ask...). And he apparently decided they were way more fun if they were cracked all over the kitchen floor. Then I guess he wanted to add some decoration and so he poured a box of Cheerios out on top of the eggs.
Poor little Gideon, who apparently was hungry, got right in the mix and was eating the raw egg covered Cheerios. YUCK!!!!
Needless to say, I will no longer be taking a shower in the morning.
Just a couple days later this is how we found Jordon one night. He typically falls asleep right at the door to his room (hence the gate to keep him contained). So we make a habit of going in his room to carry him to his bed before we go to bed. Well, we were shocked to find this scene when we went in for our nightly routine.
When I said goodnight to him I noticed that this box, typically used to store his stuffed animals, was right at his door. But I didn't think too much of it. Pete made some comment as we walked downstairs that he should sleep in that box tonight. Well, he must have heard that because a few hours later he was all nestled in.
The most hilarious thing is that he stuffed his blanket and dog behind his head so he'd have a nice pillow while in the box. By the way, this box is a regular box of diapers, not particularly big.
Trying to make funny faces for the camera.
Gideon has taken several steps on his own. He loves standing and clapping for himself. He walks a couples steps at a time all day long, but so far has yet to qualify as officially walking.
Jordon's personality just comes alive when he wears a sweatsuit. I'm not sure what that says about him, but Pete and I sure get a kick out of it. Here he is sporting his new Lightning McQueen slippers from Christmas. He proudly stood for a photo to show them off.
