After Dawson's impromptu morning bath, I decided to get Ava dressed for the day. Then I went to check on Carter and Dawson. They were in Carter's room, which had been painted this weekend so all the furniture was pushed to the center of the room. Carter was sitting in the doorway and as I walked around the corner of the furniture to the back of the room I saw paint. all. over. the. floor. There was little Dawson who had picked up the paint roller and was using it to roll the carpet blue. Yes, I know this was totally my fault for leaving the paint roller in the room. But I had asked the kids to stay out of the room until it was finished. Anyways, as you can imagine I was seeing red but locking myself in the room with carpet cleaner and a bucket of hot water helped. Thankfully I caught it immediately and all the paint came off the carpet easily. After 30 minutes of scrubbing.
Thankfully we had a couple of uneventful hours. Then came the 5 o'clock hour, which remains to this day a witching hour for Dawson. As I was making dinner I heard silence, which is incredibly unusual. Usually he spends the entire time I am making dinner under my legs, fussing. This is where I found my little boy:
Yes, he had climbed up on top of the table.
Seriously, I need your prayers to keep this kid safe. He regularly falls off my bed, and unfortunately he is able to climb onto it by himself. He is a seriously obnoxious climbing monkey right now.
Three cheers for Ava! She wrote the letter A for the first time today without any help! Also, three cheers for Mommy! I french braided her hair today for the first time!
LOL. Well,look at the bright side. At least Dawson did not flush the toilet and end up with a foot caught in the drain AND at least he did not track the paint all through the house! Congratulations on the French braid, but however did you get Ava to sit still that long?--It makes me think of the lyrics, "My momma told me there'd be days like this."
