Where is this kid’s Mother???

Monday morning, I decided that the pantry had to be re-organized.  No more throwing things in there and then slamming the door shut and hope nothing falls out on you.  So, I took everything out and … well I got distracted see …  

 DSC_0022When I came back, this is what I found.  He dumped the entire box of soda!  He was very focused on his experience and didn’t notice me at all.  Being the wise mother that I am, I pondered, how long do you think he will stay occupied with this?    

DSC_0023I suppose I was asking for it by leaving him to his “project.”  He went from drawing in it on the counter to skating in it on the floor.  Weeee.

DSC_0027DSC_0025 I don’t think there was much left on the counter by this point.

DSC_0026  DSC_0028If this had been Griffin I would have been freaking out over the mess.  But in my tired, third child phase, I am embracing the mess and relishing in how thoughtful my child is to help me out. 

The box of soda was old, and I was contemplating throwing it out, so he helped me make the decision on what to do with it. 

Also, the kitchen floor really  needed a good vacuuming and I had been putting it off by finding other projects to work on, like organizing the pantry.  So again, he was helping me to focus and stop procrastinating.

You are one brave momma, Jane. I think I'm still in the "freaking out" 1st child phase. :) You give me courage to keep going!!! :)
