The Naughty Kid

Okay so I know there are a lot of you who have boys much like mine. I however, have been used to dealing with the 13 year old girl attitude over here for the past few years. Ella is much older than her age at times and difficult in a lot of ways. Carter however, is so dang NAUGHTY! As I write this, he is upstairs refusing his nap. He has been there for over an hour now and is just playing in his crib. He is jumping on the bed, running his binki along the crib rails and just babbling to himself. He torments his sister regularly. Ella will be relaxing and he will walk up to her and smack her in the face, pull her hair, throw a toy at her, bite her, pinch her, anything he can do to get to her. He walks around with this little man walk, looking for things he can destroy and does a pretty darn good job of it. He absolutely trashes my house each and every day. He eats out of the trash (it is currently in the garage). He pulls child locks off cupboards. He screams if he does not get his way. He refuses every meal we give him, throws it on the floor and says "that" pointing to the cupboard surely wanting candy. He only wants milk and nothing else to drink. He climbs on everything. He loads clothes into my washer/dryer so I can no longer tell what is clean and what is dirty. He throws clothing into the tub full of water. Oh and the tub, he poops at least once a week in it. Sometimes more. (He is now going to get a quick wash, no playing allowed). If you ask him to give you something he shouldn't have, he throws it away from you as hard as he can. And he can throw really well for a 17 month old. He keeps me in the hall for all of church. He tries to jump off the top of our little tikes slide, and goes down head first at times. He will bring you a diaper and wipes BEFORE he poops, however when you actually go to change it he runs to the other side of the room, crouches down and points at the floor. As if you are supposed to come to him to change it. He take his pants off, then works on the diaper whenever he feels it necessary. He opens dirty diapers if I don't keep them completely out of his reach (and that means the trash too). He pulls keys off our keyboard and loses them (luckily we eventually find them). He still refuses a nap. Guess I had better go and get him. Here are a few pictures of my naughty little boy.

This is his picture face.

Don't you just want to kiss his cute naughty little face? I love him. =)
