Morning Shenanigans

Hyrum woke up this morning and turned his boyish ways on full force. After realizing all was too quiet I found him in the bathroom playing in the toilet. He had thrown two baby washcloths in the toilet and was dipping the full roll of toilet paper in the water. I flushed it quick to get him out of the grossness, but I only managed to save one washcloth. The soggy  roll of toilet paper went right into the garbage and I washed his little hands. I released him into the hallway, scrubbed my hands super good, and debated what to do about the second washcloth. As I left the bathroom he had pulled out a jug of oil and was playing with it on the living room floor. Seriously, seconds later! I had to laugh as I put the lid back on the oil and secured the cupboard door with the elastic band.

Anyone want to venture a guess as to how long it will take for the washcloth to either make it through or completely plug our toilet? I called my Dad to inquire, and while I was on the phone Hyrum started peeking into the garbage to see what he could get his hands on. We had a good laugh. Other activities of the day so far include pulling cords out of the back of the TV and trying to put them back in, throwing toys and fridge magnets into the garbage, sneaking into my cupboards, climbing on things he shouldn't, and teasing his sister.

The quietest part of the whole morning was when it was time for his morning nap. We went up to the children's darkened bed room and he laid across my lap while he drank his bottle. He ran his fingers through his hair and he could hardly keep his eyes open. I drew on his face with my fingers, across his forehead, around his eyes, and down his tiny nose. By the time he finished his bottle he couldn't even keep his eyes open. I snuggled him into his crib with Julius and his fuzzy blanket. He must have had a busy morning or something...
