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.

Stethoscope

Mark LOVES Bryce's stethoscope. Whenever he sees it he insists on a thorough check-up. He'll bring it to Bryce and lift up his shirt. Seriously. The reflex hammer and tuning fork are a close 2nd and 3rd for the coolness factor, but the stethoscope always wins.



Bryce usually takes his stethoscope to the hospital in his backpack. When Mark saw his backpack today, he asked for the stethoscope. Bryce replied that it wasn't in his backpack because he doesn't need it for psychiatry today (it was the first day.) Mark interpreted psychiatry as 'stuck in a tree'...cue video.






And yes, we did have a baby (Audrey) that I need to post about and I have a LOT of back posting to do. No guarantees when that will be, but I will do it soon so stay tuned.

What Does the Doctor Say?



We're glad Mark knows why his dad is now MIA. But, since it's a little hard to understand if you don't speak Mark:


Cathi: Mark, where's Dad today?


Mark: At the Hospital.


Cathi: At the hospital. What's he doing at the hospital?


Mark: (no idea what he said)


Cathi: Is he learning how to be a doctor?


Mark: Doctor.


Cathi: And what does the doctor say?


Mark: No more monkeys jumping on the bed!
