They call him Trouble

Just two of the 384 reasons why I rarely pee without an audience. It’s baffling the amount of damage he can do in two minutes flat.

I went to pay for my groceries and all of my credit cards were gone and I couldn’t pay with a check because my son also took my i.d.! I have to put my purse on the top shelf in our coat clost now. I am still finding my wallet things in his random hiding places around the house.

I might be willing to risk the horn that would sprout on my kid’s head from drinking diet Dr. Pepper if it meant I got to wipe my ass with out little hands offering to help.

3 greedygrace February 5, 2009 at 12:21 am

only singles in that wallet? you left the c-note in your other purse, right? :)

I have had the door to my bathroom removed. No real sense in having it there anymore.

Thanks for making the Welcomista button for SITS! I love it!

Those pictures gave me a good laugh, I can totally relate!

5 Complicated Mama February 5, 2009 at 4:15 am

O BOY! I remember those days!… and they shall soon be returning when my lil one gets bigger… am I ready for it!?!? … does it matter if Im not!?!? lol

Once again, I visit your blog and have to say you have the most adorable children… seriously, they’re right up there with my own :)

On a separate note: Do you have any camera recommendations? We’re looking to get a new one, and your pics (as Ive said before) are always awesome

6 Jennifer February 5, 2009 at 4:23 am

I’m afraid my youngest is going to be the same way. Ughhhh…… I shudder just thinking about it.

7 Sabrae Carter February 5, 2009 at 5:33 am

How cute!!!

8 WackyGrandma February 5, 2009 at 5:45 am

Why is it that kids have no sense of privacy when they are that age?

9 Christy February 5, 2009 at 5:58 am

Too funny! I suppose you could be glad he wasn’t head first into the dogfood bucket next to him in the first picture! haha!

10 iMommy February 5, 2009 at 5:59 am

Children and privacy don’t seem to mix. Toddlers could easily take over the world if left unsupervised.

11 Smores for Breakfast February 5, 2009 at 6:03 am

ha ha! Love that! Peeing alone is overrated. So much more fun with an audience.

12 SCREAMING FOR CHOCOLATE February 5, 2009 at 6:57 am

Oh yeah. The can do major damage in just seconds. You know…things like cut off their bangs to the roots on one side, fingernail polish on the sofa, totally destroy your expensive makeup…and on and on and on.

ALL my kids were the same way!! Their motto was seek and destroy. I am just now able to read a magazine with all the pages.

14 Dawn February 5, 2009 at 7:15 am

When I saw the title in my google reader instantly cowboy dueling music played. “They call him trouble”….dun nah! LOL
Don’t you love how kids will get into your purse and go for the friggin lint balls, but never the cash. LOL

15 jess February 5, 2009 at 7:20 am

He just looks so calm about it too. Almost like he’s saying “what’s it to you.”

16 Robin February 5, 2009 at 7:21 am

Who WOULDN’T want to drink Diet Doc and go shopping all snuggly warm in their feetie pajamas?
The kid’s got good taste, after all!

17 Jessica February 5, 2009 at 7:22 am

I too rarely don’t have an audience. I turn around and my youngest has unloaded the snack drawer, unscrewed the tops off of every sippy cup, and my cabinet of baking pans is now in her playroom kitchen. Ah, keeps us on our feet!

18 Tiffany @ Lattes And Life February 5, 2009 at 7:25 am

I “go pee” so often when my husband is home that he must think I have a UTI. It’s just so nice to be in there, alone, with the door closed.

19 Comedy Goddess February 5, 2009 at 7:29 am

What a smartypants! Your money and car keys! You’re in for trouble.

20 Aimee February 5, 2009 at 7:34 am

I have the same problem with going to the bathroom. My toddler loves to dig in the trash and climb on the tables and computer desk. And he’s only 16 months old!

21 Debbie February 5, 2009 at 7:36 am

Oh, what a wonderful friend time is. I had totally forgotten about this age. Of course, my money still disappears, but they do usually ask first now.

22 Denise February 5, 2009 at 7:56 am

What a cute boy! Why do they always look so innocent even when they are being bad? Not looking forward to my nephew getting into everything.

23 Amy - playhereoften.com February 5, 2009 at 7:57 am

Those little guys Love pantries. Mine gets rearranged daily!

24 Tiaras & Tantrums February 5, 2009 at 8:01 am

give me moneys – I need moneys!!! Hear that a lot in my house!!

25 OHmommy February 5, 2009 at 8:06 am

Did you know that we actually call Fifi… capital T. Stands for trouble. LOL.

26 Sara February 5, 2009 at 8:09 am

Tee Hee – We are in for that soon – little missy is rocking back and forth on her knees.

27 verygoodyear February 5, 2009 at 8:14 am

He’s totally going to take those dollar bills and go tuck them into the little girl next door’s waistband! Trouble indeed… !

28 FaithChick February 5, 2009 at 8:33 am

Oh I so feel your pain. I have three around your age. Girl 5, boy 3, and boy 1. Their strength is truely amazing when they want to get into something. And why do they always go to the purse and the makeup? Will I ever know, probably not.

29 Eudea-Mamia February 5, 2009 at 8:47 am

I guess we should be glad he went for the Diet Dr. Pepper and not the dog food.

(Thanks for the welcomsista button!! And for posting the Tuesday Wagie Ride button – Em)

30 Alecia Ragland February 5, 2009 at 9:00 am

how cute is he! my 2 year gets into everything

31 Jolene February 5, 2009 at 9:28 am

Omg this is funny! My son, who is almost the same age as yours, likes to go sneaking around and throw random things into the trash can!

32 Simply AnonyMom February 5, 2009 at 9:29 am

I am so glad I am not the only one who wipes with an audience! Your little guy is adorable.

33 Cookie Crums February 5, 2009 at 9:45 am

He’s starting young! Thieving $$$ and jacking the car. LOL that’s hilarious!

I understand the pee comment. THe other night I was using the bathroom (enjoying a few quiet mintues) and who walks in….my child. I end up holding my kid while I’m using the bathroom. That’s gotta be wrong somewhere…but you do what you gotta do.

34 natalie February 5, 2009 at 9:49 am

Aww! Too adorable!

35 Cristin February 5, 2009 at 9:53 am

I hear you about the bathroom audience… Dottie not only watches but gives a play by play of all the action…. good times…

36 Ronda's Rants February 5, 2009 at 10:07 am

Ah sweet memories!

37 Heather, aka Jake's Mommy February 5, 2009 at 10:25 am

Gosh, mah … I just needed a drink of Diet Dr. Pepper! And, seriously, at least he wasn’t munching the pooch food!

38 Tiffany February 5, 2009 at 10:29 am

Adorable.

39 Tami February 5, 2009 at 10:30 am

At least he was thoughtful enough to try and get the money and the car keys together so you could buy some more Diet Dr Pepper. Since he drank the last of it to wash down the dog food.

That is too funny! And reminds me of whyn my dog would look so forlorn when he discovered the baby at his dog dish.

40 Kate Coveny Hood February 5, 2009 at 10:38 am

I know what you mean – I always say that I have an entourage for my bathroom time at home. But maybe it’s for the best since they inevitably destroy things when I’m not there to monitor them.

41 Swirl Girl February 5, 2009 at 10:48 am

At least he wasn’t pouring the soda in your purse and eating the money!!

Pick Me!! Pick Me!!

42 Trenches of Mommyhood February 5, 2009 at 10:57 am

I love feetie pajamas on little boys!

43 Jen February 5, 2009 at 11:10 am

maybe if you push when you pee it will come out faster and in half the time and then he will only do half the damage. just a thought. ;)

44 Elisabeth February 5, 2009 at 11:18 am

Cute!!

45 Susan February 5, 2009 at 11:23 am

I remember those days – basically plopping them right there with you so you could watch ‘em. Now, my youngest is 6 and she still wants to join me – but just to have “girl talk”. Too priceless to pass on right now…

46 Live.Love.Eat February 5, 2009 at 11:29 am

Was he actually drinking the soda????? Hah.

47 Piece o' Coconut Cake February 5, 2009 at 11:36 am

Is it just a boy thing or was Lily the same? O rarely did things like that…

48 JuneBug February 5, 2009 at 11:51 am

Hee hee. He knows what he wants: car keys and money! Luckily, we haven’t had any purse riflers in this house (yet?).

49 Michele February 5, 2009 at 11:59 am

This sounds like my 2 1/2 year old daughter. I was using the bath room too and I thought she was pinned into the living room and here she comes up the stairs. “Hi mommy. You go pee pee in the potty.” Ah the joys of mommy hood. She got out by knocking over her pac and play and the living room was a complete disaster which reminds me I need to go clean it up. No peaceful moments for us.

50 Lizzie February 5, 2009 at 12:09 pm

peeing alone? what’s that? seriously what am i going to do when the little munchkins quite following me to the toilet? i’ll feel so alone, maybe i’ll invite the dogs :)

51 Brenda Jean February 5, 2009 at 12:18 pm

It took FOREVER before I could pee alone. And even then I left the door open so I could at least hear the boys. They are only year apart so it was almost like having twins. I’d yell out “What was that noise boys? What are you doing? Come here so I can see you?”. BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

52 lmt1073 February 5, 2009 at 12:25 pm

He is absolutely adorable… with a capital “A”

53 Joy February 5, 2009 at 12:59 pm

Thanks a bunch for making the super-cute Welcomistas button!

54 Rachel February 5, 2009 at 2:11 pm

I am used to using the restroom with an audience, but my kid sister wanted privacy and my son had a tantrum.

55 James February 5, 2009 at 2:20 pm

Amen to that. Though now Lukas is getting a bit better at 19 months old. Great shots.

56 Rachel February 5, 2009 at 2:35 pm

I love how he has the important things. The keys and a little cash!

57 dddiva February 5, 2009 at 2:37 pm

Great pics!
Ian is trouble like that too- luckily when he shoved the cat out the window she had enough sense to stay on the roof.
Maybe it’s a boy thing?
;-)

58 Michelle February 5, 2009 at 2:48 pm

He’s so darn precious looking…which of course he’ll use to his advantage, not to get into trouble.

59 skiplovey February 5, 2009 at 4:32 pm

Ahhh I see he has a love for the DDP (diet dr. pepper) as well. Good taste that child.

60 TMCPhoto February 5, 2009 at 5:09 pm

Exactly why I refuse to pee by myself, plus it’s nice to have company while you do your business

61 C and C Mommy February 5, 2009 at 5:33 pm

I have started to lock the door so I can pee in private!!

62 Scott February 5, 2009 at 5:41 pm

What? I don’t see anything wrong in this picture. He’s just havin’ a Dr. Pepper and getting some change for the bus. No bigee.

63 angie February 5, 2009 at 5:51 pm

He’s adorable trouble though. I’m going to go make the rounds now. :)

64 Gina February 5, 2009 at 6:16 pm

It’s always a potty party at my house too. And if it’s not, something is bound to happen. The other day I ran out of the bathroom with my pants around my ankles because I heard my son pouring all of the water out of the dog’s dish.

65 Jenners February 5, 2009 at 7:48 pm

Oh that was just so cute and funny!

66 Texan Mama @ Who Put Me In Charge February 5, 2009 at 8:39 pm

YES my little one loves my wallet as well. She can’t wait to get out all my money. I think we both know what she will be like as a teen.

67 Susan February 5, 2009 at 9:24 pm

Hmmmmm, I have one of those. I wonder what would happen if they became partners in crime….disaster.

68 Lee the MWOB Queen February 6, 2009 at 3:20 pm

Dude this is so my life with my lil’ El Destructo. he actually LIKES eating dog food. He doesn’t spit it out. It freaks me out.

And what’s with lil’ dudes and mama’s purses? The kid can rifle through my wallet in two seconds flat.

Love those pics!

69 DCUrbanDad February 6, 2009 at 4:35 pm

That would be the little MiniKamp. Always into something.

70 Amanda February 7, 2009 at 8:09 pm

Cutie! Mine got into the Splenda box once and was shaking it like snow…all I had done was try to pee in peace! After I cleaned it all up or so I thought… the AC came on and all the Splenda that was in the vent blew up in the air like snow! That is when I had to laugh and get the camera!

71 joanne July 30, 2011 at 10:38 pm

for a moment, I thought that was a giant can of baked beans and I could only imagine the aftermath of that washed down by Diet Dr. P. OMG…! Glad I took a second look (because, really, who would put a baby next to a giant open can of beans?!?!?!)
