Messy Tanner

One morning Tanner decided to pour his smoothie all over his pancakes and then he continued to splash his hands in it. It made such a mess. Smoothie was all over the floor, all over his chair and all over him. And he does these things when I am distracted by something else so when I see him it is too late and the damage is done.

Tanner's Tubes

Tanner has been getting a lot of ear infections one right after the other, so finally I decided I have had enough and he was getting tubes. When we got there the nurse gave him a choice between a green bear and a blue one. He went for the green and he has been sleeping with it ever since then. He also had to have his favorite puppy with him. We had to wait for about an hour and a half, then they took him and he was back in twenty minutes. Boy was he mad when he came back. The doctor told us when they got in his ear he had glue ear, which is when the fluid has gotten so thick it is like rubber cement and they had to clean it out. We had to stay for about an hour after he was done and then we got to go home and I could tell a difference in him that afternoon. He is happier, still a trouble maker, but not as grumpy.

Little Troublemaker

Tanner has hit the terrible twos early. He gets into everything and likes to smush it in his hair. On Tuesday Brayden put him in the playpen and somehow he got a hold of Chad's hair wax and smeared it all over his head and the playpen and he had also thrown our Farkel game in there and put some wax in the container and all over the dice. What a sticky mess.

Then on Thursday I was making breakfast for the kids and hadn't seen Tanner for a while and when I found him he was in my bathroom and he had my moisterizer smeared on his head. Then he wiped his head on the glass door in the kitchen.

Then on Saturday he got my lip gloss Brittany gave me for Mother's day, which was made from Vaseline and smeared it on his head. I didn't want to put him in the bathtub because I was going to give him a haircut, so I wiped and combed out as much as I could and gave him a haircut. Then I was cutting Jason's hair and Tanner decided to get in the sand box. Jason and Allee were laughing so hard because he put so much sand in his hair it became a different color. It almost looked like sandpaper. Needless to say after his bath my tub is full of sand.

Tanner and the Vacuum

Tanner loves to help me clean around the house. I just give him a wipe and he will wipe down anything in his reach. He even loves the vacuum, which none of my other kids have, and he will stand right in front of it as I try to vacuum. So I decided to let him have a try. He would turn it on and off, but it kept him busy for about an hour. He's better than a roomba.

Cutie pie Tanner!
