Surprise

I was sitting in the office, trying to work. In comes Kai and sits in the `Time Out' chair.
Me: Kai, why are you sitting there?
Kai: I'm starting my time out!
Me: Why are you in time out?
Kai: Koen and I made a surprise for you!
Me: Kai, why didn't you stop him?
Kai: Well, Koen just encourages me to do naughty things so I help him because it's so fun!

Koen is wildly tearing our house apart every day now. I don't like it for several reasons. I'm a neat and organized person so it's so time consuming (Koen obviously would be useless at helping me put everything neatly back in the closet). More seriously, he has had several big head injuries in the past two days for pulling huge objects over onto himself (now anchored to the wall). He is a non stop monkey. He'll run full speed onto the road. I'm trying to remember that this is just a phase, but man, he's a workout and a half.

As Kai would say, `See you later, excavator!'

  9. In case you ever wonder if life with girls is that much different -no, it's not! As you know, my girls are roughly the same age as your boys and they are doing the same sorts of things. And Livia is driving me right up the wall. She sounds so similar to Koen, minus the head unjuries (she gets them elsewhere!). Sometimes I can't believe how different the two kids are.

  12. I had to laugh out loud at this too! Sorry! That's pretty good that he sat himself in the time-out chair...but not great that he did it in the first place. Wow your boys are entertaining.
