Busy boy . . .

Well, Tucker has kept us hopping lately! He is so funny. I thought I should give everyone a small taste of what it is like around the Harrell household most of the time - CRAZY!

The newest development around here is the addition of an artist in the family. I had to work the day after Thanksgiving, so Tyler had the kids at home with him (Bev had the day off). Tyler needed to do ONLY about 10 minutes worth of work for the day and run a man's credit card - that was it. After 10 minutes, he realized that he hadn't heard a peep out of our two-year-old, so he got concerned! Then he listens closer, only to hear running water in the bathroom. As he rounds the corner, he witnessed quite a scene. Tucker was standing on the toilet lid, leaning over the sink to turn it off and on. He had climbed onto the sink to retrieve the jar of M&M's that we are using for potty training rewards, and had proceeded to dump them into the sink. Then he realized that if he would turn on the water and get them wet, that they would make a pretty little swirl pattern in the sink - how exciting! He was painting everything in the bathroom with sticky M&M paint - you can only imagine how proud Daddy was! We have quite the little Picasso on our hands!

Other new things that he has started to do is to correct the girls after we do. Do you know how funny it is to listen to a two-year-old tell a four-year-old to stop crying or go to timeout. Of course, we don't let this go on for long, but it is pretty funny. And don't be fooled, the girls do their share of "mothering" as well. Tucker was crying that he got the wrong color of cup the other night, and Molly reminded him that, "We get what we get, and we don't throw a fit!" He turned to look at her, clenched his fists, and very firmly and loudly expressed, "I not frow a fit, Molly!" Gotta love sibling rivalry - already.
