Jett was in a rare mood yesterday. Rare and not great. The day began with him climbing onto the countertop and getting into my spice cabinet and finding this:
Side note: I highly recommend and/or endorse this product. It’s taken my love of microwave popcorn up a notch. I cannot be without it for long. I buy no fewer than three at the grocery store when they have it in stock, because sometimes… they don’t.
Back to the story:
Jett found my “powdered gold” and dumped what was left of the container (over half) into what was left of our last gallon of 2% milk (about half). I didn’t get any pictures, but I can assure you he was not tidy about it.
Next, he thought he would help himself to the chocolate milk that was in the fridge. He wasn’t so careful and neat about pouring himself a glass of this either, as it got onto the aprons I was working on. He got all three aprons, but luckily washing them immediately saved them from staining and therefore saved me from having to start over again.
A little bit later in the day Josh found Jett in the bathroom, spreading toothpaste all over the sink and countertop.
And not too long after that, Josh found Jett pooping in the bathtub.
Jett was just plain ornery yesterday.
And, honestly, he could have used a little more supervision. But we’ve grown accustomed to a certain level of maturity (don’t laugh) from this boy and didn’t expect the stunts he started pulling. As afternoon came, we wised up, rode him harder, didn’t let him slip off to play alone – or even go to the bathroom – without keeping an eye on him.
We came to an understanding, though, when I told Jett that he was acting mean and asked him if he would like it if I was mean and got out the ugly monster – a Santa Claus ornament he’s terrified of – out of the closet. He got my drift. Yeah, I threatened him with something he is scared of. Not my proudest mommy moment, but like I said, we came to an understanding immediately thereafter.
I have yet to find this “powdered gold” in the store and I’ve been looking for it.
Hey, I don’t blame you a bit for using the ugly monster card, HE MESSED WITH THE POWDERED GOLD! And besides, I’m willing to SHARE my Worst Mother of the Year Award with you, no worries. :)
He probably just needed to be with his Abba (I’m sure you would have gladly sent him our way). I have “powdered gold” on the grocery list I’m going to take care of after work. I’ve never had trouble finding it at our Fareway. It’s the best on Orville’s Tender White.
Go Kraft!
But have you ever tried parmesan cheese on popcorn. I seriously eat it every night. And sometimes 2 bags. Hey, it’s good for you!
I used to do parmesan cheese before Jessie introduced me to “powdered gold”. Let’s all try them both together & give a report…popcorn homework!
Hey Jess, you do what you have to do sometimes as a mom. I always told my kids there was a camera in the ceiling of HyVee or Target and if they acted up a man would come down and take them and they would never see me again, hey, it worked, I always got my grocery shopping done with no fits. And I would do it again if I had a third kid!!
I love that stuff too!! I have a bottle in my desk at work and two at home… :) also awesome on baked potatoes or rice…
So the kid pooped in a bathtub…big deal. When you gotta go, you gotta go.
