adjectives "D"-scribing my calvinator

DEVIOUS was he, when he said, "Ew! My socks sm-" (changing to a sweet tone), "Hey Jude, do you want to smell my socks? They smell really good." DEFIANT is his way of stating as fact what WILL be (even when it won't). We've had many a face-off and battles of the will. And I usually win (for his own good, of course). DEAF was he when he failed to hear my warning call to stop 'surfing' on the moving wagon. DISOBEDIENT was he when he said, "Mom, I'm putting this towel away on the floor because I found it on the floor." DISGUSTING was his proclamation, "Mom, I'm gonna hold my bugar for a really long time." DIRTY were the dry clods that were thrown on the driveway (and later our wood floor), for the entertaining dirt particle explosions. DANGEROUS was he when he sprinted behind the toddler-sized grocery cart (little brother in tow), while ferociously roaring up and down the aisles.

Laughing completely at your expense. ;o) Oh those little boys!!! But it is so fun to have a mixture of personalities--good stories for some day. ;o)

Oh, Anna! You have such a wonderful way of making the challenges of motherhood seem sweet and you are doing a wonderful job mothering that "dandy, dazzling, and delightful" little boy. Some day he will arise and call you Blessed!!
