Peyton really has been having a hard time taking naps, and I really need him to. I decided to just put him down and tell him goodnight and shut the door. Well this is what happened. I left him in his room for about 45 minute while I did some online bill pay and talked to Craig on the phone for a bit. I was just across the hall, but he was being really quite. I thought maybe he was asleep, but really I just figured he was playing in his room. Well, he actually decided to empty out his entire dresser. He used his step stool to get the second to the top drawer open. I seriously had just went through all his drawers before his nap and pulled out the too small things and organized everything in there, then he helped me pick up all his toys. Errrgg! I was on the computer when I heard a fairly loud noise and decided to check on Peyton. He had just knocked over the basket of diapers that was on the top of the dresser. Luckily he didn't climb the thing. We are going to be installing a strap to the wall this weekend. Oh, and the dresser was moved to the side about 6 inches. Hmm.
Oh, the best part was when I opened the door, Peyton said "Mess, YEAH!" Like I was going to be excited!
He moved his bed and everything.
Yeah, he actually does this a lot.
Oh, this is an entire new box of wipes that he individually took out. I can't imagine what the next thing he was going to do would have been.

My oldest also loved to do this but would climb into each drawer after it was empty. We did have the horrible experience of the dresser falling on her when she was supposed to be napping. Because of how high she was nothing landed on her. It was really scary for the both of us. She still talks about this a year later.
What a bummer! Be firm and be consistent. He will learn and do better if you teach him and expect it.
I love the pictures of Peyton's mess. It looks like my life, but I have 3 little mess making boys. Some days I wonder why I even attempt to organize things. :) I am glad that my boys aren't the only little mess makers around. I guess they are normal.:)
