The Pea Soup Incident

He looks so sweet and innocent in this picture but you can tell...there is something lurking behind that smile.

Lately, Rooney has been trying to exert his independence when I'm feeding him. He will start grabbing at the bowl and spoon but when he can't get them he will throw a little fit in his chair. So I started to give him his own spoon. This worked great and he would play with it, dip it into the bowl I was holding or pretend to feed himself. This worked well and we were both happy...at least I thought we were.

Who would have thought that the sweet little boy in this picture would turn into a little demon a few hours later when he dumped pea soup all over his Momma? One minute he was eating the soup and loving it and the next I was wearing it. I wouldn't have believe it if I didn't see it with my own eyes and have to change my pants.

Of course he does have his lovey moments and there have actually been more of them. He will now just run up, give me hugs and then be off again. I love it. Now anytime I am on the floor means it's time to wrestle. He will jump on my back and start laughing. I'm assuming he learned wrestling from Dad and I'll play along. The wrestling is really cute and Rooney really likes to do it but secretly I really just use it as an opportunity to get even more cuddles.
