Jayden's Reign of Terror

Daddy decided that since he started a new job today (working for Jon until he gets something else...btw, he has an interview on Tuesday...!!) he was going to be Mr. Mom when he got home later than usual. Jayden, my little angel, decided to give Daddy a run for his money... First, at dinner, he made a much bigger mess than usual. Rice and green beans EVERYWHERE. So, after Jayden decided he was done, Daddy got the bath ready. He decided to let me read Harry Potter 5 to him while he picked up some and watched Jay in the tub. 5 mins later, I hear cries of disgust coming from Dan. Our son had gone #2 in the tub, and was playing with it... So, Daddy cleaned up the boy, and the tub, and while his back was turned getting a clean diaper, he heard mischeivious laughs and a tinkling sound. Moaning on the inside, he turned to find Jay triumphantly relieving himself on a pile of papers....including his commencement program and other momentos of BYU-I we had been going through earlier. The diaper was slapped on quickly, and since some of the carpet had gotten hit, he started in on cleaning the carpet. During the drama, Daddy had forgotten to shut the bedroom door, so the little imp dashed out of the room as fast as his little legs could take him. Dan jumped up after him, but was too late. In the SECONDS Jay had in a head start, he had found Uncle Jimmy's chocolate stash and bathed in it. Daddy cleaned him up, made sure the door was shut, and tried to catch his breath. This had all taken place in less than 20 minutes. The rest of the night consisted of Jay climbing up the bookshelf, getting stuck, and screaming for Daddy to get him down. Not me, but Daddy. He did eventually settle down and have good Story Time right before bedtime. I appreciate times like these...they try your patience to the very limit, but you are rewarded with some of the sweetest times ever. I'm glad that Dan was able to experience that, and I know he is, too.
