The Destroyer

We call our baby the 'destroyer'. He gets into everything! Everyday my kitchen is a disaster. My girls never bothered much when they were babies and I never had to do much baby proofing. Easton gets into the drawers and cupboards all day long. I have locked up what is dangerous but I haven't been able to find anything to stop him from getting into my drawers. When he gets in them he takes everything out. This first picture is him after he took all my towels out of the bottom drawer and he is trying to put them back in a different drawer, wadded up of course. This was actually a pretty mild day. He usually has all of the canned foods out on the floor. He also likes to stash treats. He'll come up to me and when he wants something to eat he'll just say "mmmmmm". Then I'll give him some of the baby puffs or cheerios or his new favorite fruit snacks. I always just assumed he ate them but he has been putting them all over the place. I'll find them in pots and pans or in a measuring cup or in the seat of his Buzz Lightyear bike. He has even put them in the cat's water. He just thinks he's funny and runs and giggles when I try to get mad at him. He does the same thing at everyone else's house to, so beware if I come over.

He loves to torture his sisters and is always trying to get their barbie stuff and mess it up. He also has an obsession with the laundry room. I think because that is where we put the cat food and the cats litter box. I usually try to keep the door closed but sometimes it gets left open. I have caught him in the litter box plenty of times. He likes to get the litter scoop and I have found wonderful surprises all over the floor. He also likes to put all of the cat food into the cat's water. Needless to say I am trying to do better at keeping the door closed. This little boy keeps me busy all day. Its no wonder I can't get dressed until the afternoon. I wouldn't trade him for anything, though. He always keeps us laughing all day long.

What a little beastie. I think it has to do with boys...Nixon is destructive too. I am still waiting for the day when he will get easier.
