Toothpaste, Lotion, and a Naughty Two Year Old
My mornings always begin with an iced coffee and making breakfast for the kids. Yes, I know it is freezing outside. I see the ice on the driveway and feel the icy chill as I walk into my kitchen. I can't help it. I LOVE MY ICED COFFEE. I got one at Starbucks two days ago and the barista started making fun of people that get iced drinks, then realized what I ordered when he went to grab my drink. No shame. I am not ashamed of my drink. I'm proud! Sure a steamy hot coffee would warm me up, but I don't care. That's why blankets and scarves were invented.I left the boys upstairs watching cartoons while I made my coffee and their english muffins. I heard Levi crying so quickly wrapped up. When I got upstairs Liam quickly said, "Mom, I didn't do it!" I walked into my room to see Liam sitting in my dresser drawer and a white substance all over everything! 
Why would I not want toothpaste and lotion all over my TV and dresser?If you have ever met my mom's side of the family, you will understand when I say I come from a long line of yellers. I am constantly working on my yelling and try to say things calmly to the boys. Yeah... I failed today. I yelled at him and told him to go sit in time out. (We are currently potty training him so he is usually half naked, as he was this morning). He immediately started crying, turned his naked booty towards me, and said, "Mom, I can't! I'm booty butt!" Anger officially gone. I started laughing with Liam.He thinks it's hilarious to be half naked and calls it being booty butt. He knows exactly what to say to get out of trouble. However, I did make him help me clean up the huge mess. Memories.My boys have been getting close lately. I love watching them play together and now make messes together. Levi watched Liam the whole time he was making the mess and as I was putting him down for a nap, noticed he had toothpaste on his hand. He was either helping or Liam planted the evidence.Liam likes being close to his brother too. Levi, well... I'm not sure how he feels about it.
