Eli vs. Eggs, Round 2
24October 24, 2012 by CassieCravings
We have had an egg incident before.
This specific incident was started with a Baby Einstein DVD. It was about shapes. Eli found the segment on oval shaped eggs especially fascinating.
From the next room, I heard him belt out an original song, “Eggs are ovals! Ovals and eggs! Eggie eggs Ovals…”
Then the room got quiet. As parents, we all know the dangers of a quiet room and a toddler.
I yelled out, “Eli-O? What are you up to?”
A pause, then, “Nuffing.”
Oh yeah. It was time to move. “Nuffing” means that the room has been absolutely destroyed. I stood up and tried to casually dash to the living room.
Eli met me half way. He was holding an egg in one hand a sippie cup full of eggs in the other.
I froze. It’s best to approach these situations without startling the toddler.
“Heeeyyyyy there,” I smiled.
“I like oval eggs. I’s gunna squuishes them withs my BIG MUSCKLES!”
“Uh-huh,” I gulped, “May I have them, please?”
He sighed, “Sure, my mama. I shares with you.”
Quickly I snatched the eggs from his hands with relief.
“I just p’way with the o’der ones.”
“Wait! What other ones?”
Little Eli led me to the kitchen where 36 eggs were neatly laid out along the floor.
“Ta-da!” He gave his best jazz hands and shining grin.
The biggest ta-da was the fact that all 36 eggs were unbroken and only one sported a small crack. Ta-da indeed.

Wow :). What a morning, LOL.
LOL! Right?!! It was last night, which to me is worse. I was all out of steam. Thank goodness none of them were broken. I later found 2 more stuffed in an empty toilet paper roll. Um what?? He is too creative. 😉
Still laughing. Oh my goodness. Crazy that he was amazingly careful with ALL of those eggs and I would love to learn his strategy behind the two he put in toilet paper roll!! I love how their brains works. Awesome story 🙂
Than you so much! I’m still laughing at it too. Of course, my coworkers and family seem more impressed than I was. I thought I was going to have a heart attack! lol!
Awesome!

You would say that. 😉
Hahaha –
“Heeeyyyyyyyyy there.”
I think we can all relate! I wish my kids called me My Mama, too.
K
Lol! Right. That is a heart-stopping pray to Jesus moment.
I love it when he calls me that. He started it when he was really little. It started out with “ma-ma-ma” and it evolved to “my mama” I will totally take it! 🙂
Heyyyyyyyyyyyy there!!!!!!!!! LOL I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😉
Lol! That’s a moment where your inside freak out CANNOT match your outside voice 😉
Wow, they are such crazy little creatures sometimes. We have an incident where mine was attempting to peel potatoes when he was that age. I thought I was going to keep over before that one was over! Note that happened when the room got eerily quiet as well. Sometimes I think they should just jump from 12 months to 5 years LoL.
Oh my!! I’m so glad that mine hasn’t found the peeler yet….the key word is YET. Lol!
Hahahaha I think I would have definitely lost my cool. Well done Mum! 🙂
Lol! Thanks. If any of them were actually broken, I think I would have had to pop open a diet Dr. Pepper and take a minute before dealing with it. YUCK!
p.s. Thanks for dropping by my blog and for the follow. A lovely compliment. Blessings to you!
Absolutely! Thank you! 🙂
impressive!!! and yes i get very suspiscious too when my 2 sons go quiet. it means they are either hatching a plan or trying to hide the evidence of wrong-doing.
Ha! Exactly! When he gets quiet there is definitely a genius, mischievous plan in the works of that 2 year-old brain 😉
Too cute! Hurray for no broken eggs! 🙂
Thank you! 🙂 I was VERY pleased with the no broken eggs. It certainly makes clean up easier. 🙂
HAHAHA! Adorable!!! 36 eggs oh my! You handled that situation pretty well!
It was one of those freak out on the inside situations. Lol
[…] the last egg incident, I asked why he continually got them out. His response: “I likes ‘da eggs […]
Reblogged this on Ta hendene til din kjære – se på dem og hold dem hardt Disse hendene skal du følge, leie og lede. Du skal få føle på varmen fra dem og kjenne en inderlig glede. De skal stryke deg og de skal holde rundt deg – de er ikke skapt for å såre i vrede For du skal ikke alene mer vandre. De skal klemme og kose og aldri klandre De skal skjerme deg for det du ikke selv ser. De skal elske og aldri forakte – bare hjelpe når du ber. Disse hendene skal jobbe for at dere skal få det godt De skal gi – og du skal takke for det du har fått. De skal tvinnes sammen i kjærlighet og være ømme og gode og et tegn på inderlighet Hendene du holder er sterke og unge De skal gjennom mye for din skyld når dagene er tunge De skal stryke og klemme og være gode og fromme De skal ruske i ditt hår og takke når dagen er omme Disse hendene skal følge deg gjennom livet. De skal holde fast ved deg og verne om samlivet De skal være hos deg når alle andre har gått De skal aldri slippe men holde fast og tørke tårer når du har grått. Hendene skal bære din ring med rette Den skal skinne og for alle berette Jeg elsker deg! – kan den bekjenne Det er bare en som har maken til denne En dag er hendene blitt ru og grå Hver fure og rynke forteller om livet som bak dere lå Dere kan minnes den dagen i dag – da et livslangt bånd Ble knyttet Og fra denne dag dere gikk Hånd i hånd..
