A Worthy Opponent

I will probably always remember a very specific basketball game my freshman year. We were playing state ranked South Lake Carroll in a tournament championship and they were basically a one man team. Our coach had us play a box and one defense. Basically, there were two guards at the top of the key and two posts at the bottom playing a loose zone and the other player faced off their one good player. I got to be one of the people on defense facing off the good girl and it was really fun, partly because we held them to their lowest scoring game of the year and partly because of how frustrated she got. Why do I tell you this story??? Because... of all the oppenents I use to face in basketball, my Blakers is proving to be a very worthy opponent. I feel like most of my days at home are spent playing a face off defense against him and when I am not able to, then I pay for it big time. He is the quiet, sneaky mess maker and you name it and he has probably been into it lately. Just yesterday I mistakenly thought he was playing sweetly in our kitchen sink, before I realize that he pulled out the vegetable sprayer and had given our kitchen a soak down. AHHH!

This is when he got ahold of our camera and thankfully took some self-portraits without breaking it.

Well, I don't think there is any coincidence in that all this has started since Blair has been born or that he just recently turned 2 or that he is just a little boy, but today marks the day of offensive. Sleep or no sleep, this mama is getting this situation under control. I love you Blakers even if your aren't going to like these next few days or weeks.
