Tornado

Perhaps I have written of this before, it wouldn't surprise me as this happens almost daily.

Jackson is like a tornado. He goes from room to room in our house destroying any sense of order. He'll dump out his tote full of stuffed animals in the kitchen (so they can "watch" him play on the computer). Then he'll scatter the dvd's all over the floor in the living room looking for just the one he wants to watch. Next, he'll take a shower in the back bathroom and get the floor all wet and dump all his bathtub toys out in the shower. When he decides he wants something to eat he's apt to pop popcorn in the microwave or make a peanut butter sandwich. If I'm really lucky he'll cook his own mac and cheese. Of course all this happens one right after the other and I'm in the constant state of clearing up one mess or another.

It really hit home this weekend when Dan was out raking leaves. He left a relatively clean house with Cal asleep and Jax on the computer. After raking, he comes in to total destruction!

He'll clean up his own messes with prompting, but he's less than crazy about it and needs monitoring to get it done. Oh, the life!
