Now, it's just fun to stick out his tongue!
Since I wasn't quick to get Emmett out. He is trying to get out himself!
Okay, so I panicked here. Oh no he now knows how to get out of the pack-n-play. I am not going to be able to take a shower or get ready while Emmett is awake and unattended. Luckily for me, Emmett got scared like that and fell back into the pack-n-play. Yay for me!!!! Sad for the day when he gets it that he is already out, he just needs to let go.
Holy Eggs!!!!
What can I say about this picture? It still makes me cry whenever I look at it. I am not over it yet, where I can look at this picture and just laugh. Emmett loves to empty the drawers in my kitchen. Apparently today, he was bored with just opening the drawers and emptying them. Instead, he thought it would be more fun to open the drawer, stand on it, reach to the counter and pull the container of 12 eggs to the floor. Oh, they all didn't break on initial landing, so Emmett took them one by one and cracked them or by the next picture, tried to crack the egg open with his teeth.
What the Foil?!
Paige talked Emmett into going downstairs with her while I was on the phone upstairs. Before I could get down the stairs, Paige was yelling for me to come quick and see what Emmett did. I asked her what she was doing and she said, "Watching". Are you kidding me?!!
So this what 250 sq feet looks like rolled up after being strewn all over the floor.
As if the foil wasn't enough, Emmett went into the "forbidden" room and moved around furniture, tossed the pillows brought in all of his stacking toys.
Emmett's accomplishments -
- tongue extension (sticking his tongue out)
- upper body strength (pulling the body out of pack-n-play)
- cooking skills (cracking eggs)
- designer (draping foil and toys all over the floor)
My mother asked when I am going to learn that I can't leave Emmett alone. The thing is, he isn't always alone when he does these "accomplishments". Apparently I haven't learned the lessons that I need to learn. Thanks Emmett for keeping your mom on her toes and helping her learn patience, patience, patience and tolerance. I love you Emmett!!

Oh man, the things kids think of! I've had eggs on the floor but never that many! Good luck to you on the porta-crib thing. He's a smart little thing, I think he'll figure out that one next.
Haha! Those pics gave me a good laugh! The eggs reminded me of the time my boys dumped powdered sugar 'snow' all over the kitchen and themselves! Where do you even start to clean that kind of mess up? LOL! I'm glad for all of his achievements though. Yay for sticking his tongue out!
Sorry, I know you can't laugh yet, but I did. And I needed it. My brother did the egg thing, and that's how they discovered he was allergic to eggs. At least this little "trick" didn't involve a trip to the ER. Hang in there, Mama. They grow up to jump off the roof onto the trampoline, cut a gallon-sized garbage bag's worth of "confetti" (that got "spilled") and various science experiments (all things my older-and-should-know-better kids have done in the past couple of months.)
Love it Cindi!! He has been very busy! I am so glad he is making such good progress after his surgery. Looks like you are at a stage of the 2 minute showers. I am so sorry about your toe, that looked so painful! Loved the Mexico pictures. Mike got on your blog and then called me and said, "We need to go to Mexico!" So good work! Glad you guys had fun!
Oh Cindi! I wouldn't know whether to laugh or cry!! Emmett is blessed to have you for a mother and I am so glad to hear he is making such great progress.
OH MY GOODNESS! I laughed so hard after seeing those pictures. I know it does not make you feel any better....but I really needed a good laugh today! It does; however, amaze me at what Emmett can do now. These pictures you take will be fun to show him later in life when his children are doing the same sort of things. :0)
