If you have ever had a 2 year old, then you know what kind of craziness can happen in a couple of unattended minutes. Devon is very 2, he is very similar to a Tasmanian devil. Destruction, injury, and shenanigans follow his path. During this scorching summer our biggest struggle is him chucking toys at his brother when he doesn't get what he wants. I think the extreme heat has both kept him inside and hindered his energy burn. One thing it hasn't hindered is his curiosity. We are always on the lookout for whatever it is Devon's got planned. This evening when I was nursing Callie, he and Jake were playing the Wii (so we thought). When I finished, Colby mentioned to me that he thought Devon got into the toilet paper in the upstairs (all kids') bathroom. I saw the unraveled TP, but noticed something else as well....an open and obviously used mascara brush. I looked around and thought...."ok, he tried to color with it on the vanity, then tried to clean it up with the TP, no biggie". I called for Devon to come help me clean up the TP. I heard him coming up the stairs, and I started to tell him not to color with Victoria's mascara and not to use so much TP to clean it. It was then that I heard him utter, in a guttural tone. "WHAT?" I turned to see.........this
I had no words...only hysterical laughter! My first thought was "Alice Cooper costume or drag dancer at a Cabaret". No worries, when I asked him what made him do that, he responded "I'm a girl la" translation "Gorilla". Ohhhhh! Ok, that was my 37th guess. Never a dull moment : ) Oh, Devon if you do decide to be a drag dancer, you will be beautiful.
