Why I think my little angel is evil...sortof.

So just for strictly documenting purposes...ooooowwwwiiieee!!!!!! I think Belen dropped...for real this time. I can barely walk today, it's so ridiculous. I am hoping it's one of those come and go symptoms cuz to quote Dr. Phil, "This just ain't workin' for me." My poor kids are going to have the entire programming lineup for all PBS stations completely memorized by the end of the week if this keeps up.

Oh, and let's just talk about Asher for a minute. This child has turned into Zerin (Zerin has been a go-go-go boy from the moment he figured to put one knee in front of the other). Only he is Zerin laced with maliciousness. Don't let his adorable sweet facade fool you...he is a calculating little fiend. Yesterday in Sacrament Meeting, he kept screaming at the top of his lungs, at, oh let me think...EVERYTHING. Luckily, my mom-in-law and cute neighbor helped rescue my kids from a fate worse than death, and saved my sanity in the process (Bryan was home sick).

When I'm sewing, he'll grab a button, make sure I'm watching and put it in his mouth and just laugh. He is a tease, and just a huge little stinkpot!!!

Any time I put him down, he laughs his evil (yet extremely adorable) laugh and takes off running for the street...and the middle of the street at that. Yes, he can run faster than me. Luckily 9 times out of 10, Zerin and Liah will come to my rescue and save him from inevitable peril. Thus why my doors are now constantly locked...he can open the door but can't quite reach the deadbolt yet.

Today, took the cake though. Bryan had climbed up on the roof to fix something, while Liah, Aeden and Asher were playing on the tramp. Within less than one minute, Asher climbed down from the tramp, and started climbing the ladder. From the kitchen (I was making dinner), I hear Liah and this blood-curdling scream. It was hysterical, even for her. So as fast as I could (which is not very) I ran out to see Liah freaking out at the bottom of the ladder, and Asher on the 2nd from the top rung, smiling that same evil little grin (this is a VERY tall ladder)! Bryan got to him luckily right as I came out...poor Liah was traumatized. The thing that saved her was us reassuring her for about a half hour how she had literally saved his life. So she spent the rest of the night telling us (and Zerin, who had missed the excitement) every single detail over and over so we knew just how much she had saved his life :)

I have decided, I may not survive this little boy's childhood if this keeps up.
