My 2 yr. old has earned the nickname, Hoodini. His newest trick: escaping out of the house to ride his Spiderman scooter any chance he gets (or creates). He’s figured out that by dragging the step stool from the bathroom he can reach the “child proof” lock. I’m on to him. I hid the stool last night.
This afternoon I came around the corner and caught him trying to lean the potty seat against the door to stand on it to assist his getaway. I can just imagine the conversation going on in his head. “Hmmm? No stool. Potty seat might work.” I hid around the corner and watched his evolving problem solving skills in action as he struggled to make the akward “step” work. “STINK…that big hole in the middle is not helping!” I so wanted to grab the camera but any realization of an audience would have ruined the moment.
Hey there! I’m Michelle; I’m an Passionate DIY’er and in constant pursuit of how to bring beauty to my house full of men (3 boys + 1 hubby). Stick around and see what I’ve got up my hard-working sleaves!
haha, I love catching my kids in situations like that!
Problem solvers grow up to become successful adults. Some day he’ll be buying you a mansion when he cures cancer or invents a machine that will clean your house.
Hysterical…I love these moments!

Oh the infamous stool…my 3 year old has been caught using it to turn on his bedroom light and play when he’s supposed to be sleeping! 🙂 Took stool away and he found a sand pail!
Just found your blog from VAMH and I’m addicted already! Love those stripes and the white sofas!
I just started blogging too – and will post of some of my home design too!
How funny! I miss those days. Treasure them. 🙂

Love the stripes in the bathroom.
Oh that is hilarious! Your two year old and my two year old must exchange notes… busy, busy boys!! How did we both end up with two of them?! (and why don’t we live closer?)
BTW- How is Tani liking his new class?
Hysterical. I laughed pretty hard reading that one.

Here’s the link to my post about your living room! By the way, my husband and I just moved to the mainland from Hawaii back in February! I definitely see the subtle island influence in your decorating. It’s really airy and relaxed! Perhaps thats why I love it so much!
Needless to say, your blog is a new favorite of mine!
