Mischief Managed.
October 01, 2008
Dear Ian,
I think that God made you absolutely beautiful for a reason. Like yesterday when you sneaked an entire bag of baking flour into your crib and ate it until you fell asleep leaving “dough” clumps all over you and your bedding…or this morning when you managed to find the same sack of flour again and dump it all out onto the floor and freshly cleaned laundry…or later today when you decided to play “cat” and dumped the entire box of Grape Nuts all over mommy’s bed and pretended it was cat food and I found you licking it up and spreading it all over the room with your ‘paws’ … all I could do was notice how incredibly scrumptious you are. Why do little boys get away with so much? Because they are so much more darling than they are mischievous! Next time, please just give me a little warning when you are feeling extra clever…it would have been nice to have an empty vacuum!
Love,
Mama

oh my! i think you might just have to make sure your vacuum is always fairly empty!
Oh he is a gem! Good for him to try all that fun stuff. Who could stay mad?
Yep. He’s gorgeous.
Such a creative little boy!
Makes for some great stories!! You are TOO modest! You never mention ANYTHING about all your amazing accomplishments and successes when we’re talking…glad you at least post them so I know what’s going on in your busy life! Seems like we’ve traded lives…a time and a season for everything, right? And a different season for us all, but I want you to know that I’m SUPER happy for you and you deserve all the success and accolades(sp?) you’re getting…you just need to brag a little more (hee, hee!) Love ya!

Have you ever thought of making a “sisters” print? Sure would be tempting!!
Oh, and you’re pictures are so crystal clear on your blog. Such a professional you are!
Precious! It sounds like your little one keeps you busy!
It is truly amazing what they come up with. Now imagine if you times that by 3!
Oh, little boys do just take your heart, don’t they?
i have an Ian too! but mine is 12
they ARE pretty fabulous, aren’t they!
holy cow! this is so adorable! It really is great when you can look at these events with humor — you are an amazing Mom!
okay – i think you also need to be thankful for a child who seemingly eats anything. flour? grapenuts? seriously? my kids are freaked out by deli meat & pasta. and you get flour & grapenuts? i would LOVE to see my kids lick up grapenuts. i’m envious.
My little 2-yr old son is the same way. He dumped and ENTIRE bottle of baby powder out on the carpet and the DVD player, and looked so cute covered in powder himself that it was all I could do not to laugh. And then get the camera. And THEN the vacuum.
oh it is so fun to hear your stories! baby powder is so much worse….oh man! And rachel- it is completely true that I can only get IAN to eat what he SHOULD eat when he is pretending to be some kind of animal. Cats like grapenuts I guess…so we just play the game! This time, it went a little too far!!!
I love it! But most of all i love those little wrinkles on his tummy…Yes, little boys are wonderful not matter how messy they get. It’s when they make a mess that they are loved the most. I have missed your blog Sarah Jane!
Precious memories. My Ian is now 19 and I do miss those days.
