I seem to have misplaced......

My Mind. Has anyone found it? It might be underneath of Joshua's bed.

My son has taken it on himself to hide my daughter's diapers from me.

On my search around for them, I discovered things that shouldn't have been lost yet, seeing as how we've only lived here for a MONTH. I also discovered something vitally important to my child's personality. He thinks in a nuclear attack, he will survive with the provisions he makes under his bed. This is the only explanation I can find for why a 21 month old boy needs race cars, a stack of about 6 books, a cup, a spoon and fork, 3 different stuffed animals, a blanket and a small pillow, and several articles of clothing all stuffed under his bed. Never mind that he thinks he is taking his sister along with him. Being the protective big brother that he is, he had included pacifiers and baby pajamas in the mix. I guess I'm glad he thought of her, right???

A person could imagine, with the list I just provided, that I am ignoring him during the daytime, or that I don't clean my house. Let me just explain that this is all that happened since the last time I cleaned under his bed--last week!! Let me also explain that with the exception of the silverware(who knows how he managed that bit), this all happens either during naptime or, most frequently, during the middle of the night when he thinks it is cool to be awake.

Which is why my daughter sleeps in a crib in the living room for now. He will wake her up. It is making us loopy, because we have her things in there. That bedroom is for sleeping in. One crib, one bed. Period. But she is sleeping in the living room. I have been considering changing that situation....see poll to the right of this post.

The night wakings aside, he's a good boy. He listens....most of the time...and he tries to help. But his biggest deal is in the hide and hunt. He tried to hide the chicken I was thawing for dinner today. Sigh. What is a mama to do with a boy like this? I find things tucked into corners that I didn't know we even had. Today I set the mail on the table, and I came out of the bathroom to find him stuffing paper into the vacuum. We had to have a nice little chat about the vacuum just being for little paper.

And try asking him what he's done with something.... He doesn't know what you're talking about. Little Sneak.

I never did find the missing diapers.
