Ten ways to know that Bryce has been there

I feel I have not written much about Bryce. It is not because there isn't much to write about him but completely the opposite. Bryce is either eating some toy or breaking another. He shows no fear at the playground and has gone down the slide just about every way you can, sideways, upside down and he even tried to go down standing up, but only once. He doesn't understand that he shouldn't stand on chairs even when he falls which impressively isn't often. He isn't clumsy but he tends to bump his head into things quite often. He absolutely loves brushing his teeth, taking baths, and bedtime stories. Maybe I have slacked on writing about him because he doesn't say much. Although he doesn't say much, it is easy to tell when he has been around.
Ten ways to know that Bryce has been there
  1. All of the safety covers for your outlets are missing
  2. Your drink is missing or empty - doesn't matter what kind its fair game
  3. Your books are all over the floor, and that one has a bite taken out of it
  4. Your remote is missing the batteries - darn little fingers
  5. Your dolls heads are either chewed or popped off - I just refuse to buy another Belle doll
  6. If you have baby wipes, they are now all over the floor
  7. Your cell phone is missing, oh there it is he threw it down the stairs
  8. Your condiment containers have been taken out of your fridge
  9. Your shoes are missing part of their soles
  10. The socks you laid on the couch because you were going to put them on are now wet - you left them alone didn't you, rookie mistake

I'm not the Chef

We were driving to get some dinner and Tammy asked Isabella what she wanted to eat. She said she wanted pancakes. Not just any pancake but the Happy Face pancake, IHOP makes this. She has only had it twice but she can tell you that the hair is made of yogurt, the eyes are made of strawberries, whip cream for the nose and bananas for the mouth. Well she had a new idea she said they need to make a snowman pancake. I very rarely cook but I told her "How about next time I make pancakes I make a snowman pancake". Clearing up my apparent confusion she said "mommy is the chef you are the customer".

Sweet but no help

Isabella was getting a little crazy and she accidentally knocked my drink over and all the ice went on the floor. Ever so sweetly she exclaimed "I'm sorry I didn't mean to do that". So I said "its ok how about you help me clean it up". With the same sweet tone "Oh I can't I'm sorry I'm too busy". Moment spoiled.

Shopping alone with Isabella

 I have decided it is too dangerous to go shopping alone with Isabella. Tammy wanted me to go to the store to get some spaghetti noodles for dinner. Seems harmless enough should cost $1.15. I decided to go to Target, risky. Isabella wanted to go as well, I could be in trouble here. There are a few things I learned at Target while shopping with Isabella.
1.The aisle with the cleaning supplies, the aisle with the exercise equipment, and the aisle with the picture frames are my aisles. The aisle with the Disney princesses belongs to Isabella.
2. Isabella sometimes just wiggles it doesn't mean she has to go to the bathroom. She told me this personally. Five minutes later we were headed to the bathroom.
3. She really needed a new princess.
4. To Isabella everything is only a couple dollars.
5. I'm gonna go broke if I contiue to hang out with Isabella at Target.
My $1.15 trip turned into a $40 visit. When I got home Tammy called me a sucker and Isabella chimed in "Daddy's a sucker". I'm gonna remember that next time.
