Trail of Mess

Chance no longer wanders from room to room looking around. Moving one or two things that are in his way or maybe something that is large or bright that he just can't resist. Now wherever

he goes he leaves his mark. Anything on the ground or three feet above it is fair game. He moves everything on the floor and pulls things off of shelves or off the top of tables. He crawls under things and over things and around things to get to other things that look more interesting. Today I just let him go and followed him around to see all that he would do. I took pictures of all the rooms he left behind. He started in the living room where he has lots of toys and them moved on to his room where he took all the books out of the shelves along with some more toys. Then he went on the our bedroom where he unstacked all the journals and books I have next to the bed. He also snuck into the bathroom and made a mess in there which I did not get on camera. He loves getting into things. He loves

taking things out of boxes or off of shelves. He plays with things for long periods of time. He loves books, his board books as well as adult books. He likes to open and close them and open and close them again. He doesn't rip the pages very often at all so I let him play with my books. I figure as long as he does not ruin them anything that shows a like for books is good. We always read at least one book before bed and sometimes two or three depending on how tired Chance seems. Even when I am reading he will start closing and opening the book. He is a big fan of the laundry basket and just discovered under my desk.
Last year when the Saints did so well (actually the best the have ever done) I promised Scott I would buy Chance a Saints outfit for this season. A few weeks ago I bought him this little Saints outfit. Today was the first day he got to wear it and he does look pretty cute in it. Even though the Saints are not doing quite so well this year Chance has his outfit so he is ready like a good New Orleanian just in case they do win one this season.
