How dare he waste perfectly good Nutella like that! The little wretch! ;)

One day we'll look back fondly on these times. Not anytime SOON, mind you, but one day.

That was actually one of my primary annoyances re: the Nutella.

And I AM enjoying him sitting on the sofa with me (as a kind of apology, I think) now that he's finished his self-imposed SECOND time-out in his room.

Now would be a really BAD time to say, "Oh, he's so CUUUTE!!!", right?

He IS cute. And naughty and mischievous and stubborn and frustrated and snuggled against me, pointing at things on my computer with his middle finger. AND banging his head (fortunately lightly) against my chest.

Don't forget to protect your teeth. Mine still show cracks from some of my nieces that did that headbanging thingy...

He has finally stopped doing it hard. It's just light thumps now. Nothing painful anymore, thank heavens.

Yeah, well you know the reason God made kids so cute is so we don't kill them.

No kidding.

I feel your pain. Bath time last night was a NIGHTMARE. It took both Hub and I to undress, bathe and then diaper and PJ the screaming kicking sobbing child. Normally I would just skip the bath, but he hadn't had one all weekend and was covered in sunscreen, sand, chlorine, dirt, food....and was starting to have some eczema flareups as a result.

But he slept all night and is being charming this a.m. :/

Crazy little monsters.
