I can't remember being run ragged, but I remember falling asleep at the dinner table some times. ;)<br /><br />It sounds like Battle had a very energetic childhood too. Peter is too young for well organised stuff, but he loves chacey. :)Chris https://www.blogger.com/profile/13715819899708384147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8284944855633609232.post-30971786585013113972016-03-13T21:58:54.814+10:002016-03-13T21:58:54.814+10:00Never leave knitting out for little boys to get cu...Never leave knitting out for little boys to get curious about! I think that my son did that countless times because he wasn't interested in it until I put it down. My daughter never played with it because she was interested in it when I was knitting-wanted to do it too so I let her try it out. <br />Battle definitely was all over the place like your Peter. Keeping him physically active helped alot-swimming in particular was a good calming activity for him but we lived in a city and had indoor public pools so could go year round. Also martial arts-but Peter is too young right now.

Peter'...I see you have a house elf too, lol. ;)<br /><br />Peter's mind is always chugging along. He loves books and turns the pages all by himself. He tells us how the story ought to go. I've had to wrap things up for their own protection. All chords and even the electrical equipment. If he can get a hold of them, he dutifully pulls them apart. I left my knitting alone for 3 minutes yesterday, and I found it taken off the hook.<br /><br />The upside of his curiosity though, is engaging him in tasks very easily. ;)Chris https://www.blogger.com/profile/13715819899708384147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8284944855633609232.post-59618236065746108092016-03-06T07:50:37.275+10:002016-03-06T07:50:37.275+10:00I have one of each - a teen and a tot.

So everything comes out. I'm fortunate our eldest, has learned to contain her mess in her room. :)<br /><br />As crazy as my day seemed, it was calmer than most, lol. Which is why I got the curtain dealt with pronto!Chris https://www.blogger.com/profile/13715819899708384147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8284944855633609232.post-86479293737719033712016-03-05T21:58:44.479+10:002016-03-05T21:58:44.479+10:00Tissue grenades!

I have not been able to find out what is doing this to my dark clothes-I sort the laundry myself looking for culprits but my dog might be adding lint while I am not looking or something.lol. <br />Your little guy sure keeps you busy-shows how smart he is if you ask me-always up to something.

I so often think I "I must photograph this mess to help other mothers feel better" but then fall into the rabbit warren hole of mothering and I forget too! Though some do make it on my blog. So thankyou for keeping it real! Im suitably impressed you managed to get the curtain down, hemmed AND back up - that would have taken me a month!! ;) <br /><br />xx Emma Christianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08500696381837942950noreply@blogger.com
