So... I have taken on an afternoon babysitting job for this school year. I have 2 extra boys, ages 2 1/2 and almost 4 every M, T, W, and F afternoon from 12-5:30. On Tuesday (our anniversary) M came running into the kitchen... "Mommy look what S.... did! Mom, come quick!!!" the little 2 1/2 yr. old had taken a bottle of Elmers glue and dumped it all over our couch and himself. This bottle of glue had been sitting on the floor for almost a week (I know, poor housekeeping) and none of our kids had EVER messed with it, let alone taken off the op to pour it everywhere. In this kids 3rd day here, he has destroyed more things then my kids in a year. (he also bashed the tip of a toy airplane into our dining room table, leaving dents all over the top the same day.. those dents are right next to the marks T left on the table the first time we ever gave him a butter knife for his food) It is going to be a very long year...
