My life with Miles.....

I have decided to think of Miles as "my son who is bright and has a lot of energy and does not let anything stop him" child. I tend to not be as upset with him when I think of him that way. I am grateful that he is creative and keeps himself busy, especially with homeschooling Lauren, it comes in handy. However, Yesterday he was on a roll.....first with taking the dining chairs upstairs to create a wall so Isabelle couldnt get to him (one of the many other small messes he made that day with his creativity) , then I caught him just in time climbing up the wall of the stairs.

And then to top it off, during that hour before Ladd came home (the hour that I call crazy when the kids are sick of me and Me kind of feeling the same (I hate to admit) and me trying to get dinner done, Isabelle screaming at me to hold her, you know that hour you moms all probably experience too), Miles was being way too quiet in the bathroom. I asked what he was doing and he said, just come see mom as he was giggling.....Here is what I opened the door too....

On top of the sink with water all over him AND the bathroom he said "I am spiking my hair and looking handsome mom"

How could I get mad? Or upset? Or anything but laugh. My kids make me laugh.....Life is more fun when you laugh at the things they do instead of being frustrated at them all day. That is what I have learned today!
