For the LOVE of Pete AGAIN!

This kid!! He is SUCH a rascal!!! In a post from a few months ago I was a basket case because Major kept stealing my car keys...AND because he kept messing with the dog bowl and spilling the water!! UGH! What a little rascal. Well...that time had passed...or so I thought! The turkey just escalated! He has moved on to bigger "bowls". When looking for my car keys the other day...where do you think I found them? That is right...IN THE TOILET!!!!! AAHHHH!!!! Can anybody say NASTY!!?!?!?!! Granted...it was a toilet with nothing but toilet water in it...but STILL!!!!!! It could have been worse...the boys sometimes forget to flush. Whew...thank goodness they flushed prior to the keys meeting the water. Anyway, needless to say, the whole family has been coached on KEEPING EVERY BATHROOM DOOR IN THE HOUSE CLOSED AT ALL TIMES! Before that day, I had found a binki or two floating...don't worry I tossed them out...I had found legos...you name it. So...NO MORE! Those doors stay shut....then, Santa brought Major cabinet locks too. We had them in the old house from all the other kids, but we hadn't put them in in this house yet. Well...thanks to Santa, the cabinets...at least the bad ones are locked. He had a couple cabinets that he likes to play in that just has boxed food or pots and pans in them...I am fine with that...but the BAD cabinets are locked! Santa also brought Major more binkis...since so many went for a swim. What a rascal. The other three kids NEVER EVER showed an interest in the toilet, in any way, shape or form, so I am not used to that.

He has learned to use the stairs now too. He used to know how to go up, but not down and we have 4 sets of stair in this house. Luckily one set has a door on one end. We put a gate at the top of the long set of stairs...but the other two sets...which have only 4 steps each we have let him just learn. He has learned to lay on his belly and back up until his knees come off the first step...and so forth and so on. It is really cute. Cam starts making beeping noises when Major starts "backing up".
