Mother of the Year? Not so fast...

So, I had one of those moments last night where I had to laugh at myself, and then of course post my story on this blog.

Let me start by saying that my newest challenge is keeping Wyatt contained somehow while I make dinner each night. Seth & I have decided that it's easier to eat with Wyatt, and kind of nice to just be done with cooking, cleaning, etc after he goes to bed - leaving us time to just relax. Anywhoo...there I am last night in the kitchen & Wyatt is playing at the fridge. I am just about to pat myself on the back for being able to keep him occupied there for so long, when I notice he is making a very weird sound with his mouth. After closer examination, I realize he has put something into his mouth. Lo & behold, it is magnet. So, I fish it out (probably too big to swallow anyway, I tell myself) and that's when I have a good chuckle. The magnet, which I STILL don't know where this came from, reads "Damn tootin' I've been naughty, now spank my evil butt." I have a good chuckle to myself, thinking about rushing to the ER & having the Dr. fish this one out of Wyatt...I can only imagine the look I would have received.

For now, I continue to scan the house for small items like this, but they always seem to pop up. Let's just say that Seth & I have no worries about Wyatt's vision - he manages to pick every little thing out of the carpet :)

Oh no... I'm glad you caught him while it was still in his mouth. Whew!

I know what you mean about how they find the most minute things on the floor. I've finally have Linus fairly trained to hand me what he finds. Now, he loves to go around and pick up dust bunnies and bring them to me. Makes me feel like the best housekeeper ever.
