My name is Mischief...

Today is my first official day as a summer stay at home mom. It's been a funfilled day so far. E and I took a stroll around the neighborhood and spent some time at the pool. The mischief started early today when going into Elliott's room and discovering that he was standing up in his crib. This is a new development and one I was figuring would happen soon. That discovery this morning should have made it apparent that today would be a day of mischief!

Elliott has been into everything today! His new crawling skills have been put to the test and he has realized that he can actually crawl out of the living room. I'm not

so sure that I'm liking this discovery. Baby gates are sure to be going up in our future. So, today Elliott has made numerous attempts to dismantle the DVD player as well as the Wii, pulled the tubing out of mommy's pump, playing with the air pump that was used to blow up his pool toy, pulled the wall hanging over his crib half way down, and it's only 3:00! I think in baby language Elliott is giving me a direct challenge--"Welcome to summer time mama. Just try and keep up with me!"
