The Wild Man!

Number 4 got here in April and things have never been the same. Titus "Ty Brady" has always been wild. He didn't crawl, he just went from sitting up to walking. He had to keep up with the others. He broke his foot running in church at 17 months old, got his first stitches around 19 months. At this age he could throw a ball and tag you in the head with it, he would hit you when you weren't looking and ran wide open from daylight to dark. By 2 years old he could throw a ball (or anything) up in the air and hit it with a bat (or coke bottle). Our teenager's friends would come over and play with the 2 year old like you play with babies and he would pop them right between the eyes with the ball. What an arm!!! By now we had discovered that Ty is a southpaw, he is definitely a lefty! He is 4 now, has not slowed down a bit. He thinks he can ride it if it has 4 legs or 4 wheels. He loves to help his dad and is really dangerous with tools. He was about 2 and a half and we had to hide the fencing pliers from him because he was tearing holes in the sheet rock in the house. He had a toy tool set from Christmas we had to get rid of because he was prying the walls apart. My mother wasn't a help either, she would let him play with screw drivers and he took one of her cabinet doors down in her kitchen. It actually was amazing to watch him do this because no one had ever shown him how to use the screwdriver and start a screw.
Ty is also bad about picking up colorful language. When you have a 2 year old beating on things with a hammer yelling "Son of a..." you got a problem. One question I had was, "Have you been helping daddy work again?"
He is a handful and everyday is no where near dull with him. I don't think it is no where near slowing down either.
