I'll start by telling you about one night in Target, I was holding Sawyer standing by the end cap of the liquor aisle (not IN the liquor aisle, mind you), and I was waiting for Brian and Addie Grace to catch up with us. Well, I guess I was standing a little too close to the display (my back was to it) and Sawyer grabbed a bottle and it EXPLODED in the floor! Liquor and glass went EVERYWHERE!! Sheepishly, I just said, "oops, did we do that??" apologized repeatedly to the Target clerk and hightailed it out of there.
Or how I have to fish Littlest Petshop toys, carpet fuzz, no-telling-how-old-pieces-of-nasty-anythings that resemble something that just maybe was once meant for eating that he finds in his carseat, under the couch...I don't know where else on an hourly...minutely (is that a word?) basis. (I never really had that problem with Addie Grace).
And another adventure was at Aunt Carol's house. He was holding a bottle of finger nail polish, and from another room I hear, "oh no!" When I get to the living room, I see dark fingernail polish all over him and more importantly all over Aunt Carol's light beige carpet (I was a little too horrified to get a snapshot of that).
I could go on and on about my rotten little, eh, I mean precious little boy. I guess it's all pretty par for the course for an all-boy little boy, so I'm okay with all that, BUT NOW THIS????
We were sitting in the living room just hanging out.
I start doing other things, only glancing at Sawyer every few minutes to make sure all's well; he pretends to be angelic for my quick glances...
Walk out of the room, come back and he's ripped open his shirt to show his chest hair and he's hiding behind his toy basket SMOKING!!
WHAT'S A MOTHER TO DO?!?!?
(These pictures are not posed at all...seriously. Okay, maybe he didn't really tear open his shirt...it was open in the other pictures too, you just couldn't see it. I'm not even sure why I took the first two pictures in the first place, but that really was exactly how he was sitting when I came back into the room!! What in the world?? Crazy baby!!!)

Is this the difference between having a boy??? If so I am in trouble! Love them in the bath tub. Where in the world did you find Addie Graces bath cap, I love it!

Your Target story reminds me of myself when Kathy was about 3 or 4. We were in FLA on vacation and were waiting to go to a movie. Instead of killing time outside, we took our 3 "cherubs" into a Walgreen's. We were browsing and Kathy wandered an aisle or 2 over; since she was in the company of her much more mature siblings (5 and 6) I thought she was ok. Then I heard a crash and a scream. As I rounded the aisle, I see Kathy standing there covered with "blood"--in her hair, her face and streaming down her arms. I am sure that she has severed several arteries and will die before we get her to the hospital. Then I see the broken bottle of red hair dye, half in the floor and the other half on the shelf, where she has tried to hide the evidence. As the irate store clerk surveys the damage (especially the attempted damage control)--I am apologizing profusely. All she can say through gritted teeth is "Get her out of here!" I quickly oblige and pray that we do not get sued weeks later. Kids can sure get into trouble quickly!
Kym, Kym, Kym,
I bow down in your magnificent blog presence. You are the great blog goddess of all time. Please forgive me for not realizing this sooner. Now, let's talk about this X-mas gift I'm supposed to start getting from you... HA! HA! HA!
Seriously, love the pictures of your bambino's. They are both just so cute. But as your good friend I feel I must mention to you that they say rotten, wayward, children are a reflection of the parent they spend the most time with. Now, who would that be??? You, perhaps. Sure you were just standing at the end of the liquor aisle. HA! HA! HA!
I would like to get a bath cap like the one Addie Grace is wearing for myself. It would go so well with the bathrobe I hop into every night to watch T.V. I know this is a look Rick would truly appreciate.
Yeah, right!!!!
Talk to you later, tater...

Kym,
Sawyer is just a cutie pie, and Addie Grace as well. He really is an innocent bystander of all of the things that you say about him. The poor thing is going to grow up with some sort of T-R-O-U-B-L-I-N-G complex. Just kidding. Great Pictures once again.
Enjoying your blog lots.
In Him,
Kelly and Family
