Sit still?


Boden is so much fun, right now...and a real handful.  He is in constant motion from literally the moment he wakes up.  This morning, I brought him to bed for a little extra dozing because he was still sleepy (yea!) after nursing.  As I was debating whether or not I should get out of my cozy spot,  I watched him sleep soundly on his back with his arms flung upwards and legs spread (i.e. not leaving a lot of room for mom and dad to sleep comfortably).  I was thinking "awwww, how peaceful and sweet he is" when, in an instant, he went from eyes shut, heavy deep breathing to eyes wide open, straight to standing in an instant.  From that moment we were off and running..."Boden, come here.  Boden, where did you go?  Boden we don't play with Tylenol bottles even if they are "child-proof".  Boden, don't pinch the dog...again.  Boden, stay out of the garbage.  Boden, don't feed the dogs.  Boden, please, stop feeding the dogs.  Boden, stay out of the dog dish.  No, Boden, we don't play in the toilet."  And this is all before I had a chance to pour myself some coffee.  Whew.  It's like trying to manage a bull in a china shop--disaster looms around every corner.

Picture:  Boden is a blur because he wouldn't stop moving :)
