Wild Beast


We have a wild beast on our hands, his name is Jamie. I don't recall the other two children being as crazy and active as he is, but maybe they were and I just prefer to forget it. He is now in a big boy bed, which he somehow managed to fall out of last night even though the has the mesh siding that is supposed to keep kids from falling out. He runs from the moment he is awake and won't stop until he absolutely must, which is when he passes out. He has a thing for toothbrushes. He will run into the bathroom and ask for one and then just walk around with it chewing on it. And of course he can't have his toothbrush, it has to be someone elses. He has enjoyed the warmer weather the past few days as he has been able to play for hours on end and get rid of his energy. Most days I am not able to get much done as I am usually chasing him, yes actually chasing after him, as he has gotten something he shouldn't and is running off laughing. One would think I would be in stellar shape running after him...granted my glutes hurt today so maybe it is working....or it could have been the leg presses I did at the gym. Either way he is keeping me on my toes and keeping me from getting much accomplished around the house. So if you come to visit and the place is a wreck don't think we are lazy or don't care about the house, we are just not able to get to it due to the wild beast on the loose.
