For years, I have had an enamel bread box in which I keep all of the food I want to remain out of the eye-shot of my children. What they can’t see, they don’t want and the Twizzlers, cookies, marshmallows and other crap remain untouched. Never have they thought to grab a chair, push it over and make themselves at home with the goodies the box holds.
Never, that is, until… the third child came along:
Oh, the things he’s bound to teach them…

WOW! What is it about #3? Mine can not be trusted. In his 17 months of life, he’s already learned things that have taken them years to accomplish. It’s kinda amazing, really.
It really is amazing. He has figured out how to put things in the microwave and cook them, turn on the sink and soak the kitchen and break 4 bowls in 3 seconds. He’s going to give me a heart attack.
Never mind the cookies look at those eyes! Oh mama you’re in for trouble when he gets older.

See how dumb we mommies can be. My #2 is doing stuff at 2 that her older brother didn’t figure out at 4.

my kids do this too. what is up with that. they are just too sneaky.

He is so freakin cute!!! Since he’s #3…. he’s got to do something to “standout” from his big bro and sis.
Oh goodness he is adorable!!
You’re going to have to find a new hiding spot. :)
My #3 is the same way. He can sniff anything out. No one can hide anything from him. He even finds big sisters stash. Which is not fun!
Adorable little diapered butt. Little stinker.
Lets make sure that your 3rd child and my 3rd child NEVER meet. Okay? We have started calling her trouble with a capital T. LOL.
.-= OHmommy´s last blog ..I blogged about "it" and "it" got us fired. =-.
We all call with Trouble Maker more than his actual name. He is such a little devil. He’s lucky he’s cute.
Question: can you help me understand Flashback Friday? I don’t get it. (Not stupid. In fact rather smart. :) Just NEW!!) :)
Thank ya dear!

I started doing a re-post on Fridays, but once a week seems too often- here is the info: http://www.scarymommy.com/flashbackfriday/ :)
He’s stinkin’ adorable. We use those same Target diapers for our #3. :)

Third one’s the charm! And charming indeed – what a cute smile! Probably overjoyed by what he discovered in the jar!

those lashes!!! it’s the 3rd child thing!

Well here’s to NOT having a third child…my number two is way too naughty – she’s already demanded sweeties today and it’s only 9.30 in the morning. I think a third child would en me over the edge!
But he’s just so stinkin’ cute. The real question is, did he get in trouble? LOL
.-= Jennifer´s last blog ..Answers to unasked questions =-.
Of course not! I could never, ever punish a baby. ;)
Wait a second! He’s the cutie in the sailor bathing suit! He’s allowed to steal a goodie, ’cause he’s just so darn cute.
.-= Lynn from For Love or Funny´s last blog ..Embarrassing signs =-.
okay, he is officially the CUTEST THING EVER.
Cookies, schmookies – one bat of those mile long lashes at me and I’d hand that kid the car keys, the checkbook and a year’s supply of Twizzlers…whatever he wants.
I am amazed that you can function, really – with all the cute going on in your house, I’d be a melted puddle of Mama-Mush!
.-= Ri´s last blog ..Fine, all you blogging enemies of music… =-.
Oh, Stella is SO like that. She finds ways to do things that Sarah never even dreamed of doing.
To be fair, though, they are so cute with that naughty smile – “I know I’m not supposed to do this, but I look so cute, don’t I?” :-)
.-= Elisa´s last blog ..Everyone is a “don’t” sometimes. Or: the one where I was in such a hurry I left all my glamour at home. =-.
and that look on his face is priceless…..like….”yeah, you caught me – big deal.”
.-= Futureblackmail´s last blog ..HONEST SCHMONEST =-.
Well that decides it. This second child was my last. :)
.-= MG @ MommyGeekology´s last blog ..Brutally Honest. =-.
God that kid is smart. He is only going to get more mischievous (and knowing him, cuter).
Looks and Smarts…God help you when he becomes a teenager! :)
Look out ladies!
Ah, such cuteness! Look at those adorable legs! I can’t get enough of babies and at that age, they’re just such perfection! My baby boy is totally freaking me out with all the climbing he’s doing, and he lack of fear is really worrying me! He has way less fear in him than his older brother, that’s for sure! I’m scared to have a third – would he/she be even more daring? ;)
.-= Loukia´s last blog ..Breaking News! =-.
So maybe you can cut him a deal – a marshmellow a day for his silence?
Oh, dear! LOL! Looks like you will have to start storing fruit in there and move your stash!
.-= Jingle´s last blog ..It’s A Sin. =-.
I am so there with you, but with my 2nd. My daughter has yet to reach that stage. Hopefully, there’s nothing to the saying that every kid is worse than the one before because O M G I may just have to run away if that’s the case.
.-= Crystal´s last blog ..A Day in the Life =-.
How funny! My kids can sniff out anything sweet in a matter of seconds. I think I might resort to putting them in a frozen brussel spouts bag in the freezer or something!
.-= Mom Taxi Julie´s last blog ..Through The Eyes Of A Six Year Old =-.
That is so funny. And exactly like my 3rd child. Must be the birth order or something.
LOL! That’s hilarious…. and now I know where to find the snacks at your house.

I’m very familiar with children dragging chairs up to counters, emptying cabinets and knowing where ALL the treats are. We always joke about “this being able to reach things now is really annoying – enough with the growing already!”
.-= Kate Coveny Hood´s last blog ..Peeping Toms and Sex Perverts in Thailand =-.
No WAY. Your older two NEVER tried to dip into the goodie jar? All good things must come to an end, I guess. :)
.-= angie´s last blog ..Wordful Wednesday-the new house =-.
He will go far, that one.
.-= James (SeattleDad)´s last blog ..Hair Today. . . =-.
My fourth one was the one who figured out how to climb the counters and eat out of the sugar bowl. That is why he is the last one:)
.-= debbie´s last blog ..The Score is Two Balls =-.
Oh, he is a little stinker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love it.

What a sweet face! How can you get mad at that!
I have #4 and she is a little devil!
He is ridiculously adorable!
