More Messes For Mom

Luke loves making trouble and extra work for me.

Yesterday Luke found the remote control for the DVD player and had a good chew.  I took it away once I realized what he was doing (I was admittedly not paying close attention because I was in a good part of my book), but the damage had been done.  What damage?  Well, I didn't realize myself until I tried to put on a movie.  Every time we point the remote control at the DVD player, the drawer thing opens.  I only realized this because when I turned the power button on, the drawer kept opening and closing.  I felt like I was in that scene from Mr. Boogity where the cabinet doors keep opening and closing in the kitchen and then the toaster gets hot (doesn't it start floating?)  Anyway, it took me a while to realize it was the remote control.  So I picked it up and tried to wipe off the spit, and then when I pointed it back at the DVD player the drawer opened again!  So I couldn't fast forward through the previews or hit the main menu button or scene selection or ANYTHING!  We tried it again today.  Still crazy Mr. Boogity scene.  So I guess there won't be any preview skipping in our house.  Thanks a lot, Luke.

And once again, Luke wouldn't take a nap on Sunday.  Those three hour blocks are horrible on his nap schedule!  But anyway.  We tried to get him to sleep several times but each time he just jumped up and down in his crib and talked and played.  When I went to get him the second time we tried to put him down, I saw blood on the sheet that covers his bars and a little blood on his mattress sheet as well.  I guess while he was jumping he bit his tongue or bit the edge of the crib and made his tooth bleed.  I couldn't see any blood in his mouth, so I don't know where he hurt himself, but the point was that I needed to wash his sheets.  The problem?  Oh right...it's SEWED onto his crib.  So today when I got home from the day care, I had to pick out all the stitches, wash the sheets, and then put the whole thing back together again.  And to top it off when I took off the sheet, I looked down at the top of the bars on his crib.  The front and two sides have teeth marks all over them!  How much chewing did he do exactly?!  We only left him in the crib for 10 minutes at a time when trying to get him to sleep!  Holy cow!  Either that's soft wood or Luke's got monster teeth.
