Five Spoons

I know it has been awhile since I've blogged, and I have more to blog than what I'm going to say here, but I have to tell this story real quick.

After lunch, I put the boys down for a nap like I do every day. Sometimes they take a fairly good nap, giving me time to both relax and accomplish something. Other days, like today, they don't give me much time. Since I choose to do my relaxing first (I know I shouldn't, but when else am I going to get the chance...especially with my husband out of town), the boys were up when I got around to feeling up to getting something done. The most pressing job needed was a good sweeping under the table. Joey loves to help me sweep and usually holds the dustpan for me. Baby Nick does his best to stay out of my way, and if I'm quick enough, I can keep him out of the pile of dirt. Today, I used the broom to "sweep" the leftovers off the booster seat that Baby Nick and Dakota use. I saw something sticking out from under the booster seat, and when I got close, I could tell it was a spoon! Since I push the chair right up to the table, I don't use the tray that comes with the booster. So there is a hole where the "peg" of the tray hooks into. Baby Nick is fond of stuffing food down there, so it was not much surprise for me to find one of my spoons down there. After pulling one out, I felt a second one down there. Finally, I tilted the chair over, lifting the booster up a little (not wanting to have to unlatch the booster altogether) and a total of FIVE, count them, FIVE spoons fell out! I couldn't believe it. I will have to get in the habit of checking the chair every time Nick eats with silverware.

Oh, he cracks me up!
