No matter how much I think I have him figured out, he never ceases to surprise me!

Larenda says:

Larenda says:

The Gymnist

Don't you just love it when your babysitter (today it is my mom) calls and begins the conversation with "I just had to call you," and then begins giggling? My response, "what did he do now?" It seems mom was getting Grant ready for his daily nap. She changed his diaper and he headed for the bedroom. In the room where he sleeps is a full sized bed which sits next to his play pen (where he naps). Mom said that he climbed up on the bed and ran over to the side where his playpen is. Mom asked "Do you want in there?" Before she knew it, Grant leaned over, grabbed the top rail and did a flip into the playpen. Scared her half to death. She wheels over to the playpen and looks at him (he had landed flat on his back) and asks if he is okay. He looks at her with a gleam in his eye and a grin on his face which she interpreted, "That was fun. can I do it again?" No wonder the poor woman is white headed!

Have you ever tried to catch a greased pig?

I haven't, but came pretty darn close Saturday. Grant was in the tub, and I was on the phone (I know I am not supposed to do that, but...). I turned my back for just a second and turned around just in time to witness him launch off the side of the bathtub to the floor. I said "come here." In his language, that means "run boy run!" The chase was on! While still holding the phone with one hand, I was trying to catch him with the other. He was running as fast as he could, bouncing off of walls and furniture with me hot on his trail. Did you know that wet kids are slippery? Finally, he tripped and fell and I nabbed him in time to get a diaper on him before we had any disasters.

My Son, the Pervert

Last Sunday I ran to JC Penney's real quick to make a quick purchase. Grant was with me. I decided to try the item on and ran into the dressing rooms. Grant was being pretty good. He was climbing up and down on the bench in there and poking me and giggling. He ran around behind me and was quiet. That's when I heard, in the sweetest little voice, "Hi." Then I hear a voice from next door, "Um...Hi." I spun around in time to catch that sweet little boy laying on the floor peeping under the wall at the lady next to us. Needless to say, I was mortified and apologized profusely. I love being a mom!

Paying for My Raising...

The entire time I was pregnant, I told Danny that I better not have to pay for his raising. Little did I know that would turn around to bite me in the behind! I am NOT paying for HIS raising, but mine. It seems Mr. Grant is a tad bit hot tempered and just a little impatient. Hmmm wonder where that came from?

Case in point: Yesterday we were at mom and dad's and Grant was playing with a wooden tool box and tools he had received for his birthday. I can't remember what exactly he did, but I found it funny and laughed at him. Before I knew it, Grant screamed at me and threw the hammer out of his tool box at me. Guess he didn't find it humerous at all!
