What do you do when your toddler is being bad but it is so flipping funny? I used to laugh at other's kids and it was OK cause they were not mine. haha. I thought for sure that I would be that strong parent with my own kid who did not laugh. NO way, I feel like I laugh more. Maddie is such a character and she already knows how to be super funny or cute when she is doing bad stuff to get away with it. Even when I hold a straight face, she can tell by my eyes that I am laughing inside. That little rascal. I need to be stronger.
Also, do you guys let your little ones get into things they shouldn't? I do that all the time. Not anything that can hurt them. But right now Maddie is emptying the contents of my diaper bag. Hey it is entertainment (and education) for her,and it allows me to be on here typing to all my dear blog readers.
Sorry I haven't been posting many pics lately. The truth is, I haven't had time to take many, and those I have I haven't had the time to download to my computer. The computer that I DL pics to is in what is becoming Cam's room until I get an office set up downstairs in the dungeon. So right now, that room is a complete mess, and I can't even stand to sit in it for a minute to get pics downloaded. This weekend we will probably take the computer downstairs, so it might be a while. But I am happy that we will get Cam's room set up. Yay! Not that he will sleep in it yet for a while, but it makes me happy to have it organized. My Step-Mother-in-law got us a crib and changing table from her boss for FREE! How freaking awesome is that. And the best part is that it is white which is the color I was hoping for, but I was going to take anything. I just couldn't see spending money on a crib when Maddie probably won't be in hers much longer. I also took a dresser from my parents spare bedroom. It is the dresser that I had as a kid, my nephew Danny used it as his dresser and then my Mom used it to store things in it for my two younger niece and nephew, and then Maddie for when they stayed the night. My sis and I cleaned out the dresser so I can use it for Cam. I know that would make my Mom happy.
Ok, well I gotta run, I have diaper bag contents to pick up :)

I have to admit that I laugh too, I try so hard not too, but can't help it sometimes. I also let James get into things that he shouldn't, but I look at it like you do. If they aren't in any sort of harm from doing so, then it is just keeping them busy and letting them discover new thing. In the end the only one who has to deal with anything would be us having to put the mess away. James took ALL of the shoes out of the closet yesterday. He had fun :)That is really cool you got a crib and changing table, I love hand-me-downs. They are the best!
Wow - I really enjoyed catching up! Cameron is adorable. I can't imagine that baby stage again! Aaah! I just love the picture of Maddie sitting next to you on the hospital bed. And the light around her little head! Sounds like you are doing great and things are going just the way they are supposed to.
I used to laugh, but after three kids, Im kinda learning the hard way NOT TO... But sometimes it is just TOO HARD!!! My middle girl is the one that is ALWAYS in trouble and always does it in a way that is just TOO funny!!!
As for ignoring something that they are not suppose to do, I do it all the time... If I dont pick my battles, I will end up saying NO the ENTIRE day... So, sometimes I act like I dont know what they are doing... Even when they fight with each other, if they are not hurting the other, I let them solve their situations, because they need to learn to do it.
That is great about the handme downs... It is true what Bridget said: They are the best!
