We've Got THAT Kid!!

You always hear stories about "that kid". You know, the one that gets in trouble all the time... the one that is always getting into something. Well, I think we may have THAT kid! Every day we pick him up from daycare, we are always wondering what he has done this time! It's not that he's being bad... he's just being a toddler... a toddler in a room full of babies. He's the oldest in the infant class and is definitely keeping them on their toes!

A couple of weeks ago, Mark picked him up and the daycare teachers told him that when they went to check on them while they were napping, Clay decided that he didn't want to wear his clothes anymore. He stripped down to just his diaper... with the exception of one foot in his jeans (only because he couldn't get it over his shoe).

They also have to isolate his crib away from everyone else's crib. They have wheels and roll... Clay has figured this out. He was reaching out to everyone's crib that was within reach and pulling them over to his crib. Party at Baby Clay's crib!!

The other day, Mark pulled up and there were toys outside the window in the bushes. He had a feeling that Clay might be responsible for the mess... AND he was. They had opened the window since it had gotten stuffy and Clay decided to clean up the toys by tossing them out the window. However, we were told he was not the only one... he enlisted the help of his side kick, Andrew.

Clay has also pulled the curtains down, learned to crawl up on the rocking chair and stand up, pulled other kid's pacifiers out of their mouth, steal other kid's food off their high chairs... Yeah... we've got that kid!

And here is "that kid" looking all sweet and angelic before I took him to daycare this morning

And here is that mischievious little grin... Oh, yeah... always up to something!

Oh how funny!!! (He gets it from Mark, right?) I love the toys out the window and party at Clay's crib! Just think if they had him sleeping on that wonderful "nap mat" already!

You are definitely right in classifying that behavior as being a toddler and not bad. He is just curious and smart - he has it all figured out. Too funny about the toys going out the window though!
