And So It Starts

I guess it's funny how history repeats itself, but or how time has a way of coming full circle, however you want to put it, but the day has finally came that Brendan has started to become a little "boy". Just as Thomas had done at his age {almost exactly if I remember Thomas maybe half a year older I think} even to the SAME EXACT PLANT! there's something about the allure of a fake plant that little fingers just HAVE to play around with! So there I was doing dishes, and letting Brendan crawl around and get some practice in standing up and all, and he crawled over to the balloons I scattered on the floor that were leftover from Thomas' birthday party for him to play with and he crawled over to my fake ficus plant { I THINK that's what it is !} anyway and proceeds to pull the moss from the planter just as Thomas did 3 years ago back in Virginia! I was like What are you doing young man??! I lightly tapped his hand and sternly said No. We don't pull that from there and he just burst into tears at being yelled at. OK now I feel like a mean monster mommy at making those sweet blue eyes cry. :( but hey, rules have to be made. He got over it quick and I documented his first felony. What is it about that plant that these guys BOTH find that they have to pick it bald? I put the stuff back in the pot and carried on with my life. *sigh* Boys will be boys I guess. I hear it gets worse. So far all is good . Maybe I got off lucky, maybe the worst is yet to come. anyway,Here's the start of my lil blue eyed troublemaker..and so it starts.....
