Mayhem’s Momma

Pin It
My little Grayson is an adorable baby.I am completely aware that as his mother, I probably think he’s cuter than he actually is, but I’m going to ignore that fact. He’s a doll. He has these big gray-green eyes, this perfect little adorable nose, tiny little red lips, dark blond hair with tiny curls at his neck, and the ability to give the most irresistable puppy-dog eyes you’ve ever seen.

Yep, he’s pretty phenomenally cute.But everywhere this little man goes, mayhem follows.

When we put him down from the dinner table, it’s a safe bet that crashes will be heard moving through other areas of the house caused by this tiny unseen force. Chairs topple over and pots come crashing out of the lower cabinets. The front door slams shut and a shoe flies across the hallway. Once in a while, a tiny, dimpled hand will appear at the table and attach to a dinner dish, yanking it from the table before any of the other diners even know what hit them.

When Mayhem is let loose in the backyard, he scales the ramp leading up to the playhouse like it’s nothing, wobbling dangerously in his desperation to beat mommy, who is sprinting across the yard frantically and wondering how he got all the way over there in 5 seconds flat. After he is returned to solid ground, wailing in disappointment, he takes off full speed to find trouble elsewhere.

The next 15 minutes will most likely be spent pulling a roly poly out of his tightly clenched fist, wiping grass out of his hair or dirt off his face, yanking him out of the way of a moving swing, and distracting him from the fire pit.

It’s not like I wasn’t warned. At his 6 month checkup, he managed to yank the doctor’s computer mouse off its pad and swing it against the wall, spill the entire bucket of crayons on the floor, wrench the stethoscope off the wall, and rip the exam table cover to shreds, all before the doctor even entered the room.
He can’t take a bath with the other kids… they boot him out. When his private bath is finished, the bath giver and the bathroom are drenched, and he’s squawking and wriggling in distaste at his playtime being forced to end.
If he happens to make it into one of the kids’ rooms, I know within 30 seconds because of the older kids’ squeals of “Mommyyyyyyy!!! Grayson!!!”, at which time I sprint into the war zone and snatch Mayhem away from his target of the minute.
Sometimes I ask myself… how can he cause so much trouble, keep me SO busy, make so many messes, drive his siblings SO crazy…
And still be this cute and innocent??
I didn’t eat any dirt… I promise!

    UM. I'm pretty sure he's a cute as you think he is. Completely. He's a-dor-a-ble!!! Reminds me of my baby sister. So sweet and quite and innocent, yet the smallest little terror! In any case, your Grayson kinda melts my heart. And what a cute name! Thanks for sharing this giggle! :)

    LOL – That is my little guy too! Reed is so spirited! We call him “Destructo” – wherever he goes he leaves a wake of destruction. But you are absolutely right. Once he looks up at me with those big blue eyes, I melt. (Unfortunately, he knows this and tries to take advantage.) Grayson is too cute for words! I can see how he has you wrapped around his finger. =)
