The iPad Doesn't Need a Bath

People all say the same thing about Little Buddy.  He is all boy.  That is a nice way of saying, "I hope you don't have any nice items at your house because that little guy is wild and accident-prone and will destroy your house."




Do you see the iPad?  Next to you will see a cup.  This cup is probably the biggest cup we own.  It's HUGE.  It has to hold at least 44 ounces of liquid.  For some reason Hubby thought he would drink this entire cup of water during the night so he left it on the nightstand.  This weekend he was changing his clothes and he heard Little Buddy crying behind him.  He turned around and Little Buddy was holding this cup with all 44 ounces of water and directly underneath Little Buddy was Daddy's $900 iPad.   To his credit, the reason Little Buddy was crying is that he had already spilled just a teensy bit of the water on the iPad and he doesn't like a mess.  He wanted someone to wipe up his mess.  His little lip was quivering and it would have been very cute, but as his body started to shake with his tears, the water from the cup started sloshing around.  Daddy lunged at Little Buddy just in time to save his iPad from getting a very wet bath.

Still, I'm encouraged that he didn't dump the whole thing and laugh.  Right?? 

Clues That Your Three Year Old is Growing Up Fast...Too fast...

1. When she says to you at a stoplight, "Mommy, the light was red.  You're supposed to STOP on red."   Sheesh, talk about a backseat driver.  Okay, I did coast through turning right on red but still.
2. When you take her shoe shopping and ask her to look in the mirror.  She says, "Stylin".  That's it.  Just Stylin.  As in Stylish, but she shortened it.
3. When she says she wants someone to play with.  "You can play with me," I say.  She shakes her head.   "No Mommy," she says.  "I don't want to play with YOU.  I want to play with one of my FRIENDS."
4. When she says, "Mommy, is there something I can help you with?"
5. When she says, "Mommy, can I borrow your iPad for a sec?"
