Diminishing judgement

Years ago, before we had kids, I remember someone telling me a story about a 2 and 4 year old that covered a bedroom in baby powder.  I asked the storyteller, "Who was watching them?!  How does that happen?"  This person, most likely a parent themselves, chuckled and blew off my question. 

Three days ago I walked into the kitchen to find Sam (2 1/2) sitting at the table.  There was a full cup of apple juice splashed across the table.  Dry cereal was scattered here and there.  And Sam had dipped my DS stylus into a tube of chapstick and plucked out the entire contents.  He was playing Mario Brothers on a chapstick smeared screen.  I did not pause to ask, "Who was watching this boy?  How did this happen?"  No.  I now know these things just happen.  Not only was I just down the hall, but his father and grandmother were too. 


At least when he is asleep I know there's no mischief.



 

She helps keep him in line, too.

I would like to thank Ultimate Life Clinic for reversing my father's Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). My father’s ALS condition was fast deteriorating before he started on the ALS Herbal medicine treatment from Ultimate Life Clinic. He was on the treatment for just 6 months and we never thought my father will recover so soon. He has gained some weight in the past months and he is able to walk with no support. You can reach them through there website www.ultimatelifeclinic.com
