31 Days: Intro & Index

{I'm linking up with The Nester for a 31 day blog series.  Check out her site for more information, to check out other series, or to join in!}

After a 30 minute car ride of Ellis screaming for no reason other than he just wanted to, I finally got home and decided he was going to bed early.  Moms get to make decisions like that.  I mean if you're over it all and want your kid to go to bed, you just tell them to go to bed, right?  Ha.

(If you are laughing right along with me, good.  You are the exact one I am writing this series for.)

We get home from our car ride and I leave Ellis in the living room so that I can go make a bottle and breathe for just one second.  

Upon returning to the living room I see that he has pulled his toy box into the middle of the room and taken out just enough toys so that he can climb in and get comfy.  Here's the awesome part...as I started to walk towards him to remove him from the box, he looked up and growled at me.  No joke.  I couldn't make this up if I wanted to.  Like a rabid dog protecting his squirrel, this kid just growled louder with every step I took towards him.  I couldn't get video in time, but oh how I wish I had.

So, I had some cheesy title ready to go, but after tonight's events, I made a little adjustment.  And now it's perfect.  Thanks for the inspiration, buddy.
