Chuck and I often wonder if Chandler may be the biggest mess maker of them all. Truly, this child's creative curiosity is astounding.

But then I ran across a list from awhile back that I had started about another mess-making toddler. Maybe since I hadn't slept much since then, I couldn't remember just how messy the preceding mess makers were. Perhaps his brother could've given him a run for his money...
Here's the list:

TODAY CHANCE HAS---

~squirted the hand soap all over the couch and the bar.

~taken out the batteries of the remote and lost the battery cover.

~pulled all the paper out of the printer.

~Put his hand in the potty after making poopie. (Can I just saw "Eww! Boys are GROSS!!")

~stomped all over a box of cookies. (Or should I say "cookie crumbs"?)

~wadded up a bunch of new envelopes.

~took a book of printed pages and got them all out of order.

~got into the bandaids and stuck them all over himself and the bathroom. (Oh wait, I have a picture for this one:

And it's dated November 2008 - so less than a year ago!! Wow, my memory is shot.


~scattered the needles, pins and threads of my sewing kit around the house.

~Poured cinnamon all over the floor, himself, and his food.



~Pushed Chuck's work laptop off of the couch and broke it. (Thank God for warranties!)

~Pulled a can of red creme soda off the counter, causing an explosion all over the kitchen.


So, I'm sorry, Chan Man. I don't know that I can dub you the greatest Mess Maker of them all.



It's ok, bud. I'd rather dub you the cutest toddler of them all anyway...
