Scarey.....

Yesterday Matthew asked for some chocolate milk. More specifically "Wal-Mart" chocolate milk. Guy wasn't going to open up a new jug when there was a container already open, so he gave Matthew a glass of chocolate milk from the open jug. Matthew took a sip and complained. It wasn't Wal-Mart chocolate milk, it was Hy-Vee chocolate milk. Matthew couldn't see the container but could tell by taste where the milk came from.

Today we were putting a movie in the dvd player. Matthew saw the label on the disc and, in typical fashion, said "Bye, Daddy dvd" as we removed the movie that Daddy had been watching. After I put his into the machine, he gave me a case to put the dvd in. (The disc I removed was a Blu-Ray disc). The case he gave me was for the exact same movie, but it was a standard dvd case. He found the exact movie from the shelf and gave me the exact case. This wasn't a movie that Daddy watches regularly.

We purchased a set of safety cases for the cords on the shade. Their purpose is the keep the cords out of reach of children since one of my children (Matthew) enjoys playing with the shades. I had one installed on a shade. Today I found him playing with the case. A childproofing device doesn't work well if your child can remove it himself.

And finally, now we always leave the house with a key. If it's bringing up trash cans or getting the mail. Matthew likes to close doors and Matthew knows how to lock the deadbolt on the door.
