If any of you have ever read the children's book, "NO, David,No!" by David Shanon, one my favorite children's authors, you will understand how I'm feeling about Grant these days. When I found out I was having a boy I was scared and now I know why! In the last week alone he has;

1. Killed Gracie's fish by squeezing it between his fingers, and then put it back in the tank for Gracie to find all bloody with eyes popped out.



2. Tried to kill the next set of fish we got to replace the first one by pouring all the fish food we have in the tank. We'll still waiting to see if they make it through that!



3. Took a marker and drew all over the upstairs hallway and doors, which I had to paint over because it would come off. I've been painting everyday during nap time for a week!



4. And through my cell phone in the sink, and I only discovered it at the bottom of a pile of dishes with the water on. So, I guess I need a new cell phone.

OK and this was just this week! I could name many more like when he pored the milk out on the carpet, or took all the keys off my computer key board(ever since I have to press extra hard on about half the keys), drank his sister pee out of the toilet before she had a chance to flush(this was also this week). Not to mention he has some weird problem where his arms pop put of socket all the time and I have to take to the urgent care (they know my first name down there). So, as you can see I have my hands full. I know what some of you are thinking, quit complaining, and that is the point of this blog. I do need to quit complaining. At the end of the "No David No!" book after the mother has yelled at David for a number of things she says, "Davey, I love you!" So, Grant I LOVE YOU! I hope you forgive me someday for all the yelling and the reversed lock on your door. Love, mom
