Ethan has been pretty naughty lately. I think it's because we can't go outside and burn off extra energy! Here are SOME of the things he's done in the past week.
-I laid Riley down for a nap and decided to take a bath. I leave the door open so I can see Ethan and Mia. As I was in the tub, Ethan open and shut her door a gazillion times and woke her up. She fell back asleep. He went to go in her room a second time, and I could see him in the mirror. I gave him "the look" and told him "no." He looked at me through the mirror as I was looking at him. Stare down! He promptly shut the bathroom door, so I could no longer see what he was doing (which made me laugh so thank goodness he couldn't see me!) I could still hear him though. He went into her room and woke her up a second time. She fell back asleep again. I got him out of there and went to the living room. It took me a second to realize he was gone. Sure enough, he was in Riley's room. This time, he climbed up on her crib and was shaking it. He woke her up a third time. Riley was pretty ticked off at this point. No falling back asleep for her!
-Last night, I had salsa sitting on the counter. I went to dip my tortilla chip in the salsa and it was gone. It took a couple of seconds to register that it was missing and at the same exact moment that it clicked, I heard Ethan giggling. I knew instantly that he had taken it. I walked out in the living room and he had dumped the entire container on my carpet. The mess spanned half of my living room. I put him in time-out for that one. Well, he now knows how to open doors, so he came strolling out right after I put him in there. I got up and put him back, and ten seconds later, he came out again. I put him back again, and he came out again!
-I put Ethan and Mia down for a nap today, and Ethan apparently didn't feel like sleeping. He came out almost immediately, and I gave him "the look" and told him to go back. He actually listened to me and went back in his room, but this went on for an hour. Poor Mia! She was trying to go to sleep but he was going in and out and being really loud. Finally, he came out into the living room and Mia fell asleep. He stayed in the living room for about 30 minutes and decided to go back in their room and climb into Mia's crib. Ethan started jumping up and down and woke her up. The poor thing was screaming her head off. I took him out of their room, and within ten minutes, he went back in there and did it again!
-He also likes messing around with my coffee maker. I love my coffee maker and would freak if something happened to it! He poured the coffee grinds out today onto the counter, floor and lazy-susan. He also messes around with my coffee bean grinder.
-He got ahold of some steak knives that were in the silverware drawer and started running around with them. I was trying not to chase him because I didn't want him to trip with them but at the same time, I was quickly trying to get them away from him. He did this twice. He also took a butter knife and stuck it in the toaster.
-I went to the grocery store and bought lemon poppy seed muffins. Ethan LOVES these. I put them on the counter and he knew they were up there. Mike left the juice on the same counter. Ethan was gone for a minute before we noticed. Mike went to the kitchen and he was sitting on top of the counter. He had poured himself a glass of juice. There was probably 2 inches of juice in the cup and the rest was on the counter. He was trying to open the muffins up so he could eat one!
If he keeps this up, it's going to be a very long winter!
