What a day. I have two very grumpy kids. Mostly it’s related to colds and a bug that is flying around (as in the stomach bug not a fly or some other creepy crawly creature).. Two days in a row. One only wonders what tomorrow will bring!
Well on to my story!
I was standing at the sink doing dishes and Tornado was playing with ladybug while she was in her walker. Her binky was attached to her outfit via a clip and Velcro. Tornado was playing with one of the toys on her walker that makes noise. I had just scolded him for being rough with her and turned back to my dishes after he had given her an apologetic hug. Not two minutes later I caught a glimpse out of the corner of my eye a pink thing dangling from his mouth. I did a double take and there he was with ladybug’s binky(Pacifier) in his mouth. Now as cute as this was. I am a firm believer in taking away a child’s bink before he/she turns a year old and Tornado had not had a bink in over a year. I took the bink from him scolded while I rinsed it off and attached it back to her outfit. By this point Tornado was very crabby and was in dire need of a nap. I took him upstairs and changed his diaper and proceed to make the trek back down the stairs to get lady bug and do the same with her. I get half way down the stairs and hear a strange noise coming from the kitchen just in front of ladybug. Tornado was in his room wailing for me to come and rescue him because he knew the outcome of events. I moved quicker as I rounded the kitchen table and realized the dog was hiding but what was he chewing on….you guessed it the infamous binky. I am not joking nor exaggerating. He literally removed the whole clip from her outfit and was quite pleased with himself. All of this took place within twenty minutes. Talk about being kept on your toes!!!
