Scotty has been getting into anything and everything lately. He makes so many messes that some days it's hard to get anything else done. #1--When we were in Willcox, he was watching a movie and was quiet. I was in the other room and when I came to see how he was doing, I found the entire box of kleenex empty and Scotty was laying in a bed of Kleenex. He had a huge wad under his head for a pillow and the rest spread all over around him. He looked at me like he was the smartest thing ever and said, "Pillow."
#2--Right before my parents came to visit for the weekend, I was trying to get more boxes emptied and put away. I heard noises coming from the living room. It sounded like a plastic sack tearing. I ran in to find that Scotty had somehow pulled a whole loaf of bread down from the counter. He had bit into the bag and then ripped it open. He had about 7 slices of bread on the floor. He looked up at me, picked up a couple of slices and took a big bite and said, "Sandwich!"
#3--The same day as the bread incident, I was out of the room for a few minutes and I came in to find that Scotty had gotten my purse unzipped. He was sitting on the couch with gum wrappers all around him. He had taken my gum from my purse and had eaten almost all of it.
#4--My parents came and we were in Tucson choosing a washer and dryer. We were in a big appliance store and Scotty got away just as someone had opened a door that led back into an employee only area of the building. There was a door in that area that led out the back of the store. They had that door propped open. Scotty made a mad dash. My dad ran after him. The fast little booger was all the way outside before dad caught up to him.
#5--That same weekend, Scotty decided he wanted to try to "go potty" on his own. We found him in the bathroom with his little toilet seat on the toilet and a whole roll of toilet paper off the roll. Most was in the toilet but some on the floor. As soon as I found him he took off running. When I found him he had just shoved a soaking wet clump of toilet paper in his mouth. Yuck! What can you do for toilet mouth?
#6--This past week, I had just finished folding all of the laundry. I needed to fix lunch, so I had stacked the folded laundry in the laundry baskets and put them on my bed. Everything was a little too quiet, again, so I went to search for Scotty. There he was on my bed. Laundry...............no longer in baskets and he was rolling around in it and throwing some up in the air laughing.
#7--I was in the bathroom doing Scotty's hair. He crawled up on the toilet and reached up and pulled the Q-tip container off of the shelf and dumped it all over the bathroom floor.
Between all of these things, were many other things that he did. Like throwing the hugest fits in public places. Pulling stuff off of the shelves in grocery stores. Just yesterday I had to get some things at the store. I was in a hurry and just reached in and unloaded everything onto the belt. The lady checked my stuff and I was on my way. When I got home and unloaded the sacks, I found about 3 things that I didn't put in the cart and never intended to buy. Sneaky little Scotty. Most people would have taken pictures of each incident above for blogging purposes. My first thought is not usually "this will be cute for story telling." I don't get that far past my frustrations to go find the camera. I Love my little guy so much but when will I ever be able to get the stuff done that I had planned on doing, instead of cleaning up his messes all day?
Here's a pic of a happier time in the life of Scotty and Scotty's momma!!
