This is his new blog name. It fits him perfectly and it is what I have taken to calling him lately.This kid is a challenge. He has the been the hardest child for me to adjust to having. Don't get me wrong, I love him but he is a HARD kid.
He does not take No for an answer.
He is the kid who will keep going back to something no matter what!
He is destructive he has broken two picture frames this week.
He screams constantly.
He throws some major temper tantrums.
He screams to be held and then screams ten seconds later to be let down.
He removes all my air fresheners from the walls.
He turns the stove off while I have things cooking, he can't stay away from buttons.
He hangs on my living room curtains.
He pounds his head on the floor and walls.
He hates it when I leave him! Which is actually very sweet, but I feel so sorry for bringing on the royal temper tantrum for the babysitter or my family.
When he does not get his way he immediately starts running to a corner of the room or just away from you and cries and screams with the loudest guttural scream I have ever heard a one year old make!!
I LOVE his nap times. Lucky for him and me he is still a morning and afternoon napper or I would loose my last chipped and broken marble!!
He is so sweet and loving at times but they are few and far between. He has the most adorable smile that melts my heart and saves his little hide! I asked the pediatrician about his temper and I just read an article on it today. There is hope. I don't think I can handle another seven year old who throws fits like Lightning can when he wants to. A lady the other day said boys are so much easier to raise than girls. NOT MY BOYS... They are proving to be my biggest challenge so far!!!
Case and point. I posted this this morning and then during lunch I thought I would be a nice Mom and bake brownies. I NEVER bake much of anything anymore. As the oven was heating up I thought I smelled something funny but didn't realize what it was until I open the oven to put the brownies in and found...
THIS!!! Nice, Wild Thing has struck again. Plastic melting on the bottom of my oven. The scary thing is what if he had turned the stove on and then opened it to drop his goods in and got burned. Looks like I am off to the safety section at Home Depot to find some way to protect the child from himself.NEW BLOG NAMES:
I am changing Smileys blog name too. He will be Bubba from now on and Baby H will be Little H because she is growing up.

Oh wow. You definitely have your hands full. I hope his personality calms down the longer you have him.
Those pics could easily be either one of my boys. I never had an organized tupperware cupboard because they were always playing in them. But I figured they needed one they could play in without getting hurt or ruining anything. And they were constantly climbing on things - Connor especially.
Yay for nap times!!
What a little stinker! Good thing he IS CUTE! In my experience boys are harder at first and get easier as they get older! I was talking to a sister in our ward and she said that at age 14 or 15 boys attitudes change and become totally different!I hope that it is for the best and not the worst!?! (since I am almost there)
Good Luck!
Aren't naps the best thing?!! Gavin was that way too, he took his daily nap until he was 3, it was heaven especially since I was always chasing him around. At least you will have great blogging material, even if you are tired!
Oh my.....I mean I know you are busy but reading your list made me exhausted...and that was just a list for one kid! Bless you! Oh, and don't worry.....you have plenty more time to modify his behaviors before you have another 7 year old.....and just think....by then Lightning will be, what 13? Well, maybe you don't want to think about that! ;)
So are Bubba and Wild Thing in the works to become permanently yours? If so, lucky kids!
I feel for you! Cam was just like this.....and honestly if it weren't for my ex-husband wanting another kid I NEVER would have had Austin!!! I just didn't know what or how to deal with him....but over time it has come and he still has his temper tantrums and difficult times....but it's getting better and I am so thankful to be his mom and the challenge that he is.....KEEPS ME ON MY TOES! :)
OY! busy boy! love the layout! and fabulous new blog names! good choices!
All can say is....good thing he has such a sweet face!
Hey our boys could be twins, maybe they were seperated in heaven...
Wow, he is a handful! Jared was a lot like this. He has grown out of the temper tantrums a lot but he is still very destructive. He gets into more trouble than the other three kids ever did. We've even had the plastic left in the oven only to melt when I turn it on. This is why they are so cute!
