Daily Doings of Jesse Rich at 20 months

8:00 am: wakes and runs from person to person for hugs and kisses
8:03 am: takes everything out of all three drawers in his room
8:05 am: crawls all over us during family prayer and "circle of love"
8:10 am: shakes the music stands until everything falls off onto the floor
8:11 am: slides down the stairs and eats all the cheerios off the floor in the kitchen before we let the dog in to finish the clean up
8:20 am: rolls around in and tears to shreds the newspaper left out from the night before
8:21 am: run to every painted white wall in the house and indelibly leaves his imprints on each one
8:25 am: throws the half empty bowls, cereal and milk on the floor so the dog won't be disappointed shen she comes in
8:26 am: sees what's in the bottom of the trash sack before someone takes it to the barbage outside and it is lost from discovery forever
8:28 am: climbs the stairs and stands squeaking by the tub until someone comes and decides that a washrag will NOT be enough to erase the sgar coated face, the milk stained knees, the soggybottom or the oaty cherrios smashed in his hair - so he goes in the tub
8:40 am: decides he's cold after letting the water all out 30 seconds after he got in and sitting there for 15 minutes waiting for the water to come back up
8:41: stands and cries for someone to rescue him but won't get out when we do come
8:45: clean and happy now, he returns to his bedroom to tacle his drawers again, looking determined to do a better job on them this time.
