Mischief

Often while I'm feeding Audrey or busy doing something around the house Mark disappears to find something to entertain himself with. He's gotten pretty creative and is keeping me on my toes.

"Cleaning" the mirror in his bathroom with water from the spray bottle and tissues while sitting in the sink. To make things more complicated he likes to lock the bathroom door. Thankfully we have a key if needed, although he is generally good about opening it for me.

Sitting precariously in Audrey's laundry basket on the edge of the chair. He climbed over the back of the chair to get in there and added my coat for good measure.

Stuck in our laundry bin. He had thrown a puzzle in the middle section so I think he climbed in the outer one in hopes of getting to the puzzle. Instead, he just got stuck until I found him.

Visiting Audrey in her crib. Recently Bryce and I heard what we thought sounded like Mark on the baby monitor. It was early in the morning so I dismissed it since Mark doesn't have a monitor in his room. Around the same time, Audrey started fussing. Bryce went in to check and found Mark huddled over Audrey and talking to her. He had left his room quietly (we have bells on his doorknob) and had gone into her room looking for me since I'm often in feeding Audrey when he gets up. It wasn't malicious, but Audrey wasn't a fan and thankfully let us know she needed help.

Talking to her is so sweet. Duggle always jumps and pushes and tackles Dot to make sure she's awake when he runs in to ruin her naptime. They are so QUICK!

Ha, ha! That is too funny! Caleb loves to "clean" with his water bottle as well. Caleb has never climbed into Brady's crib though. As much as you probably didn't want Mark disturbing Audrey (I know I wouldn't have :) ), I thought it was very cute of Mark. It's fun to see Mark in a big brother role.
