Trae's team won their last lacrosse game making it an undefeated season for the freshman/sophomore team.
He also did an amazing job in his play. I will have to upload what I was able to record before the camera died and Bekham lost his mind. Bekham is turning into that child that should not be let out in public. I always thought it was the parenting, but I have to say that I'm beginning to believe that SOME of the "wild childs" are born and not necessarily made that way. Bekham ran away from me at the play, ran across the front of the stage and then proceeded to climb the stage where he could be seen doing a little dance and screaming "neener-neener-neener". I have to admit I was so horrified that I hid in the shadows and pretended that I didn't know the child. He just went further downhill after that and I spent the rest of the time hiding in the hallway with a half-crazed toddler.

So I have had great difficulty with the youngest Smith boy. We laugh because otherwise we will cry at his antics. I think we cursed ourselves when he had Mason and insisted that a child could not get naughtier.... oh, boy were we wrong.
Last week I found him on the kitchen counter and when I tried to get him down he proceeded to grab spices and medicine bottles to hurl at my head.... My house smelled like cumin the rest of the day...
Saturday morning while I was putting on my makeup I heard Jamison screaming and came into the living room to see Bekham high tailing it out the back door with his lacrosse stick. I then realized that he was wearing Jamison's shooter shirt (head in sleeve) and had left a trail of baby powder on the walls, floor, shirt, and couch down the hallway, across the living room, and proceeding into the kitchen. When Bekham was approached outside he welded his lacrosse stick like a sword and I have to admit I was whacked a few times with that dang thing.
Today he was found getting into the fridge. When asked to close the door and get out I had coffee creamer thrown at me, which exploded like a grenade in the middle of my kitchen. Sorry, no pictures for that little fiasco, but keep scrolling and you will see which direction this day kept heading....
And here you will see Bekham grinning like the rascal he is. He decided to paint his toenails while I was trying to reserve our camping spot... I guess he decided the cabinet, counter, floor, hands, arms, and legs needed a bit of color as well.
I had an amazing Mother's Day. Jamie grabbed breakfast for us. I made steaks, hot potato salad and the most fattening, delicious red velvet poke cake. We took it to Mom and Dad's because Dad is still recovering from his 2nd shoulder surgery. Jamie bought me new running shoes and I'm excited to try them out once my feet are back to normal.. I have had some major swelling of my feet and I think I have pinpointed it to my daily steroid inhaler. Thank goodness Jamison isn't having those symptoms with his, although the poor guy sounds like he is headed towards pneumonia.
EDIT: I figured I might as well add on to my day seeing that I just got off the phone with poison control. Bekham has decided that nail polish is nasty after taking a big swig. I had it left out because I needed to take it back to my neighbor who was kind enough to loan it to me after this morning's fiasco. This kid is with me almost 24 hours a day and I still don't know how he finds time to pull all this crap off! Anyway, all is fine and for your future FYI it will only give him a tummy ache, if that. I think I may have to get a leash and leash him to my side from now on before he gives me a heart attack!....
