Seriously....who teaches kids to do the things they do? Of course I am talking about the naughty things because I teach him only nice things.....and smart things.....and sweet things.
Here's my theory. I am guessing there is some secret training camp that goes on right before conception where the angels teach babies how to skillfully arch their back in such a way that you are unable to snap them into their carseat without having to brace yourself against the side of the car and use your fore arm to 'fold' them in half while rushing to get those snaps done! Then I am sure they have a training course on how to artfully spit food so it reaches the far corners of the room, and how to distinguish what foods are best at staining. Owen's spittng food of choice right now is carrots.....always carrots. And I am sure that just before they are delicately placed in womb they are taught how to head butt their mothers without hurting themselves (how I will never know) and then laugh at their mother's distress.
Then again.....maybe that's what Mike and Owen are up to when I leave them home alone together? Training on how to do all things that drive mom batty? :)
But man that kid is cute. And man I sure do love him....carrot stains, head butts, & carseat 'folding' in all. :)

The arching carseat feat doesn't end either - they just get stronger and then they start yelling "NNNOOOOooooooOOOOOOO!" and screaming like you're beating them when you're just trying to go home or to the store.
Lol!!! I'm so glad to hear that it's not just me. I've been debating turning the car seat around thinking maybe if the back of the seat wasn't available to push off of, then maybe it wouldn't be a problem. Then again, then they might just end up arching themselves onto the floor!
So funny! I have lived that with my boys too. Elijah's favorite now instead of climbing into the carseat he will rush to the other side of the SUV where I can't reach him, he is laughing and it is a big game to him. Or he will turn around backwards in the carseat indian style and since he is heavy (and strong) makes it hard for me to turn him around. I definitely had more bruises and bumps on my head than that kid ever has but skillfully learned to "watch" for the head and dodge.
