Happiness is...

Clayton received this gift from Mike's parents at Christmas. This is how it has looked since about January. It's hard to look at an incomplete toy like this. We just figured that Clayton put the orange ball in the trash and we hadn't noticed it. Then...yesterday, while I was cleaning up some ants, I moved the kitchen gate (from where it waits to be used) and in the corner, under the cabinet was the ORANGE ball. Jenelle and I were so excited. It's wonderful to see the toy like this! Aren't you happy for us?!

Side note: When I put the balls in a different hole than the one that matches their color, Clayton has to stop hammering and put them in their right holes. What does this say for the future?

I often place the balls in opposite holes just to bug anyone who might care. -Mike

I just can't resist leaving a comment about this one. Yes, it would bother me to see the toy like that for months! When I pick up the living room, I try to count the pieces of each toy/puzzle to make sure that they are all there, and if not, it drives me crazy. I suppose as we add more kids to the mix, this will not be possible for me to keep up with!

Oh, and I am just like Clay -- I can't stand it when things aren't in the "right" place.

I'm so glad that you're doing well and Jenelle is better. :)

It does get a little more difficult to keep track of the pieces. Sometimes, I just figure they'll show up and usually they do.
