Tommy Trouble
When I, Tommy's Mommy, started this blog, I used to write about all the cute, fun things that Tommy did. It was easy since I was working and had computer access all day. Now that I am a stay at home mom, I do not always get the opportunity to update the blog. That is unfortunate because now I see many more fun and crazy things that Tommy does. After the last major incident, someone mentioned that I should be writing all these things down. So, I am going to make the effort to share more stories of Tommy, and even one or two of Piper...
Last Friday afternoon I was taking care of my daily afternoon duties - letting the dog out and getting the mail. I've been doing it for years with no issues. This day, however, Tommy was feeling more mischievous than usual. He usually stands by the screen door to watch and wave. As he was standing there, he thought it would be funny to lock the door. To make matters worse, he walked away. I was unaware that he had done this. As I was dragging the dog in trying not to drop the mail, I grabbed the door only to discover that it wouldn't open. Tommy came to the door with a big smile on his face. I, on the other hand, wasn't smiling. I screamed and pounded on the door, loudly enough that the entire neighborhood was aware of my situation. With a terrified look on his face, Tommy scrambled to unlock the door. It took a few tries, but he got it open. As the dog, the mail and I fell into the house, Tommy went running. I got myself together, and put Tommy in timeout. After his 4 minutes, he got up and resumed his day like nothing had happened!
I knew that with having a boy comes mischief, but sometimes I am still caught off guard by the things that he does. I'm hoping that I will be better prepared for the incidents, such as bringing my house keys with me to the mailbox, or maybe strapping Tommy to a chair when I leave the house! I know that many people had a good laugh at my story, and I'm hoping that one day I will be able to look back and laugh and not feel like I am being punished!!!
