dude just dominates the day.

it seems like somedays i'm leading a 3 ring circus around here, with just one child.

he's a busy one.  jumping from activity to activity, toy to toy, room to room, leaving little tornadoes everywhere he goes.

i realized the other day that i spend most of the day running after him, playing damage control.

sometimes i think i'm pathetic, as i spend HOURS picking up HIS stuff.

but really?  it gives me purpose.  

i'm weird and have a "way" i like to put all the toys. all the crayons. all the gadgets. all the stuff.

back in ORDER.

i like order :)

i usually make him help me "teen up", as he pronounces it, but he lasts for about 4.8 seconds.

regardless, he has fun and i get to organize and reorganize and clean up the same stuff all day. every day.

but you know what?

i sort of actually love it.

i love my job :)

i think i'll call myself the home organizing engineer.

i mean, why not add engineer to the title?

here's romes in bunch of crappy cell phone pictures, just out and about, escapading around the house:

 {keeping his lungs up and running}

 {single fisting the masterpiece}

 {double fisting}

 {peeking out from his "2 biiiiig bankies"}

 {building a tower, and exclaiming, "i did it!"  and then building another one and shouting, "2 did its!"}

 {watching bob the builder.  the only way i can take a shower without someone standing right.THERE. the whole time}

 {helping mommy with her ridiculous popsicle consumption}

 {probably the result of me saying, "no more bob the builder, time to read books"}

 {building things.  dude could build all day.}

 {whoops? how did this one get in there?  this is one of my "let's make these cows sit in awkward positions sessions"}

{stinky face}

so there you have it folks.  a little view into how little romes dominates his days.

ps. he turns TWO on saturday.

? i know.  the cliche, "they grow up sooo fastttt....wahhhhh"

but they do.

and it's sad.

and he better not ever get married.

or have any girlfriends.

{ha!}

unless it's eden, or lucy, or rose :)
