The busiest kid on the block

Oh that we could all be as productive as a (nearly) two year old. In the span of five minutes my son was able to flush some unidentified metallic object down the toilet, take apart a couch cushion, "teach our TV Japanese" (we can't figure out how to get it back to English), and sabotage the washing machine. He works with style, finding time to annoy his sister to tears and make his parents say silent prayers for their sanity under their breath. He also takes time out for himself, managing to add a fourth bruise to his head while teaching the rocking chair a lesson it won't forget. Somewhere in that busy five minutes, he also managed to take off his pants. We should all take a lesson out of Eli's book, The Most Productive Toddler in the World.Yeah... but you should see the rocking chair!
Nearly equally productive, Ava spent the five minutes picking out the perfect shoes! That a girl!

Alright, 'fess up. Did you leave them unattended while you finished up the Harry Potter book? :-) No, I know EXACTLY how quick little boys are at big trouble. I love the line about "teaching the TV Japanese." Brilliant.
