I used to think that boys couldn't be so much trouble. My girls were pretty active, how much different could boys be? Then I had one. At first not so different, except diaper changes which usually involved an entire change of clothes for him and me. We learned pretty quick to open the diaper then close it again until he finished peeing. Now Andrew is 2 and really getting into trouble. For the girls trouble was coloring on the walls 
or using real water for their tea parties and spilling it everywhere. This morning Andrew took a DVD case (fortunately the DVD wasn't in it) and put it in the microwave. And started the microwave. By the time I got to it (which couldn't have been more than ten seconds) it had started to burn. Oh boy, does burning plastic smell bad. Fortunately there weren't any actual flames but the case smelled so bad I had to throw it away. Then it got quiet. Anyone who has had a toddler knows that quiet is scary. Andrew was in the bathroom eating toothpaste. At least he wasn't fishing in the toilet with his toothbrush this time. He did that a couple weeks ago.
Andrew is really not a trouble maker, he's just curious and he thinks he's a grown up and can do what grown ups do. He's always very sorry when he does something wrong and it's hard to be mad at him when he wraps his little arms around your neck and smothers you with kisses.
