Parenting can be so much fun!

We are currently waiting for the Caldwell County Sheriff's department, no not for anything big except that Bristol is thinking of being a jail bird early in life. He decided to play with the phone in mine and Jeff's room and call 911. And apparently the more you try to assure them everything is okay, the more concerned they become and insist on sending someone out. D'oh!

And while on the lovely note of parenting, Beck tried to burn the house down a couple of weeks ago with Madalyn's Easy Bake Oven. Of course it's all kinda funny in hindsight, but when Madalyn and I came home (Jeff and Bristol were taking a nap) and the house smelled like burning it wasn't so funny. Beck decided to take advantage of the others napping and get the Easy Bake out of Maddy's closet, mix up some powder (minus the water) plug in the oven and wait. Thank goodness we came home when we did, but Maddy was pretty ticked we had to throw away her Easy Bake because of Beck. Melted plastic and smoke- I'm sure it will be the next new scent for Glade. =)

Parenting is not for the faint of heart!

I was interested to read your blog. As a parent you may be interested in being part of a university study I'm involved with. It’s about how infants and children develop. It wouldn’t take much of your time, and it’s a great way to contribute to knowledge by reporting on your own experiences.
