Emmett the Destructor!

WOW!  What a shock having a boy after a girly-girl!  Emmett is loud, destructive, and very demanding.  Handheld electronics are toast - after he is done with them, he smashes them on the floor until the batteries pop out!  

All paper is shredded, stacked books are thrown to the floor, food quickly disappears into his hands then his mouth - even if he just finished a meal!  Our dining room table has quite a collection of utensil dents (I'm not too worried about those, as my friend Mary would say, those are just "signs of life" :)  Emmett has already been stung by bees twice, bitten into his tongue (and drawn blood) at least twice, bitten by an unknown insect and taken to the ER because his face swelled up and has a scar on his nose from falling and hitting the steamer chair.  He even drew blood on Jason last week when he hit him on the head with a metal clip.  

After all that, I still think he is the cutest little guy and my favorite kiddo to cuddle with because he likes to cuddle back. :-)

That sounds exactly like our house! Maybe we will get girls next time. Then we will be in for it when they are teenagers instead. :o)
