The crazy never stops

Last week sometime when Avery and I were upstairs he said something like "Look Mom someone cut the toilet paper", It just looked ripped to me so I didn't think about it.

Then a few days later I noticed he'd been in the bathroom for a long time so I went to check on him and found him with a pair of hair cutting scissors he'd found up there. He cut the elastic band of his underwear, the shower curtain, the curtain I have under the sink, the toilet paper, and we found later he'd cut a bar of kid soap. We're lucky he didn't lose any body parts!I could tell he knew he did something wrong because as soon as I opened the door I heard the scissors drop. We had a talk about the proper use of scissors and making bad choices. After our talk he said "I promise I won't never do that again" and since he doesn't know about double negatives I'll take that as a promise of it never happening again. :)

When I told Andy about it he said that the other day Avery told him he cut his underwear. That explains why his undies are fraying. Apparently we need to do a better job of listening to Avery!

The scissors have since been relocated.

Jack's crazy in other ways. Though I will not be surprised to find him someday with scissors cutting stuff up. Though with him he'd likely climb to a shelf and dig them out of a box. He's insane sometimes.

He loves climbing on the table. It's a constant battle to keep him off.
attempting to jump from the ottoman to the couch, thanks to Avery for teaching him that skill...
I hope he doesn't break his neck one day!

Ahh the scissors. As you know we have had quite a time scissors in this house. Put them under lock and key. That's the only way to be safe. :)

It's good to know that I am not the only one with kids who do crazy things sometimes. ;)

I am dreading the scissors day! What a funny kid. His underwear!?
And, of course, Jack is a cutie as ever.
