Methodical Mischief

I think that I am in trouble folks.  As Teddy is getting a little bit older, I am getting a sharper picture of his little personality and it looks like there will be troubled waters ahead.

While Jack is very out there with the turmoil he creates, Teddy is much more subtle.  Yesterday, he sat very quietly and emptied his entire cup of juice into his bib (Jack would have just thrown it across the room).  I guess he was trying to figure out how much it would hold.  I can tell you, the bib will not absorb a whole cup of orange juice.  I guess I won't be giving Teddy "spill resistant" cups, but rather the "spill proof" ones from now on.

Also, Teddy has become rather opinionated.  He has food that he just will not touch (green beans) and food that he goes nuts for (Total Cereal).  Gone are the days when I could plop him on the floor with any random toy.  He knows what he wants and can get quite crabby when I can't read his mind.

It is not all doom and gloom though.  There is nothing Teddy likes better than to roll around on the floor with his brothers and sister.  He just thinks that the big kids hung the moon and stars.  He laughs with them, "sings" in the car and just about loses his mind when one of them walk in the room.  The good news is that feeling is mutual among all the siblings.  They are a very happy bunch.

It is such a blessing to watch my little angel, as Nicholas calls him, grow in to his personality.
