just so hard to get mad at

 at 18 months old

he stands 36 inches tall

and weighs in at a whopping 24 pounds

(cheese face)

Even when he finger paints with black acrylic paint all over my comforter or pulls down the bowl of flour all over the floor while I am trying to cook or makes a HUGE mess every time he sits down to eat, throwing Cheerios on the ground splashing his hands in the milk, decorating his body, the wall, the chair and the table with yogurt just to name of few of my favorites:) Even though he does all of these things, I just love this little man to pieces.  And just for the record I do try to feed him, but he is Mr. INDEPENDENT now, he will NOT take a bite from me, he has to do it himself.  IF I try to help him he stiff arms me and says, "push" meaning let me do it, step away mom.  

He loves to sit on the toilet and feel like a big boy and the whole time while sitting will say, "poo poo."  He has yet to actually go, but that is a start.  

Any time I try to put him in time out he just laughs at me making it hard for me to EVER discipline this little man.

This little man is always full of smiles and laughter which makes it just so hard for me to get mad at him :)
