a.k.a. little troublemaker, aka Archer Briggs! Seriously, this kid is giving me a run for my money! Here are the things this little man {I say that cause I sometimes question that he is only 18 months!} has been up to:
He is a climber! Really he has NO fear. I catch him multiple time a day climbing up the shelves in the pantry and holding on like he's a monkey. The other day as he did his acrobatic climb he reached my spice rack and happened to drop the glass mustard seed bottle, which of course broke and caused mustard seeds to be in every possible place in my kitchen!
note: Clint really needs to make my pantry lockable!
This little guy will find a way to get into what he wants. He learned several months ago that there is a stool in the bathroom that he can easily carry to access something he can't reach. As I was busily trying to get ready for the day {that's pretty much when these things always happen}, he climbed on the stool to reach a signed paper that Lexi needed to return to school. He also opened the drawer and took the scissors out. When I caught him he was sitting on the floor stabbing the paper with the scissors. Needless to say, I had to tape that paper back together the best I was able.
One of Archer's favorite things is to empty my pantry of everything he can reach and stack them on the floor. He was doing this and I was trying to give the kid some "fun and creative time". So, when he opened the syrup bottle and proceeded to dump the sticky maple sap all over my carpet I missed it! It wasn't until I stepped in the mess that I noticed it was strewn pretty much throughout half the family room!
Archer apparently likes capri suns. And likes squirting the sticky mess out even more. How many 18 month olds can get the wrapper off that tiny yellow straw and poke it in the top EVERY time on his own! Heck...my 5 year old can't even do it sometimes!
Just today, as I was once again trying to get make up on, I all of a sudden hear Miranda Cosgrove {aka icarly} blaring from the computer. I hurry in to find Archer standing on my computer chair holding the mouse and putting his hands up in the air. I ask him if he wants to dance and he shakes his head "yes". We dance for a moment and I turn off the computer. Nearly, 3 minutes later the music is blaring again. I run in and he again has his hands in the air. I don't know whether to be worried that he's gonna fall or harm the computer, or be amazed that he can somehow use the mouse and click the itunes folder and play a song! I mean really? What happened to watching Sesame Street and playing with blocks?!
This naughty boy has also filled my toilet multiple times with every toy and tampon he could find!
Oh, Archer if you weren't so cute and didn't give the best cuddles...you may be in a lot more trouble!
