Although raising girls (especially 2 that are 14 months apart) comes with it's own issues, like emotional drama, an overload of accessories and an abundance of irrational tears, the issues don't compare to those of boys.
Jonah is only 13 months old and comes with habits of putting things in his mouth. I'm not just talking about little choking hazards that most kids enjoy trying to eat (although that can be included in our list). I'm talking about finding him roaming the house with a cigar in his mouth...handfuls of fireplace soot, dirty diapers from the garbage, a RAZOR, and urine soaked toilet paper. Seriously! Nothing stops this kid. Ok, to be honest, the toilet paper wasn't in his mouth (that we know of) but it was definitely being played with.
Unfortunately, we have resolved to having EVERY door in our house shut at all times. Jonah can only be in 2 rooms unattended.

I feel your pain. Sean was exactly like that. Do a search on my blog with the words "Busy Guy". Oh!! He was a terror! But now, he's calm and easy peasy!

Hi Becky! I'm hopeful that he will be like Sean when he is older! :)
Just hours after I wrote that post, something way more serious happened regarding him. Stay tuned, I will probably post something regarding it just so parents are aware. But for now, I am thankful for his Guardian Angels that protected him last night! Ugh!
