I'm throwin' in the towel


Ever since Logan was able to pull himself up on things the TV has been his BFF. He absolutely loves it without a shadow of a doubt. Whether it is on or off he thinks his slobbery hands need to be all over it. Now if this TV was ours then I wouldn't so much care about it (it's kinda old and we got it for dirt cheap, or free I can't remember) but no, this wonderful TV is Julie's. And if I have to mention that it is a really nice expensive TV. So grimy 13 month old hands do not, I repeat do not belong on this TV. I have tried so many things to keep him away, but in the end he always outsmarts me.
So yesterday I decided that I would put 2 big storage boxes that have Christmas decorations in them in front of the TV. I walked away thinking ha I gotcha this time little boy. I sat down at the computer and turned to look at him to see if he had finally given up.
He*% No he didn't give up. He was on top of those boxes before I even sat down. What a little sh#@ head! But I couldn't help but crack up. It was so funny. I can't believe how fast his little brain works. What a little smarty pants.
Oh and I'm sure you can imagine how smart he felt too. I could see him thinking ha I got you mom, again!
So now I am putting the boxes 2 high and setting his Elmo couch on it's side. You can't see the TV but it keeps his naughty, grimy, sneaky, slimy little digits off.
Please keep us in your prayers, cuz I'm not sure how much more I can take!

Oh boy! I better get in shape for when Carmen hits that stage. It's bad enough when your kids are ruining your stuff - even more stressful when they're going after other people's stuff!
