Um, no. He wanted to take with him as he climbed the big toy...<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tashadoestulsa/4414460955/" title="Park Day by Tasha Does Tulsa, on Flickr"><img alt="Park Day" height="500" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4043/4414460955_f70ca1a927.jpg" width="375" /></a></div><br />And made a beeline for the slide. <br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tashadoestulsa/4414461027/" title="Park Day by Tasha Does Tulsa, on Flickr"><img alt="Park Day" height="375" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4039/4414461027_a47381144c.jpg" width="500" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tashadoestulsa/4415228344/" title="Park Day by Tasha Does Tulsa, on Flickr"><img alt="Park Day" height="500" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4061/4415228344_8b9a82f3be.jpg" width="375" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tashadoestulsa/4414460539/" title="Park Day by Tasha Does Tulsa, on Flickr"><img alt="Park Day" height="500" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2696/4414460539_0460873a62.jpg" width="375" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tashadoestulsa/4414460701/" title="Park Day by Tasha Does Tulsa, on Flickr"><img alt="Park Day" height="500" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2688/4414460701_431447db43.jpg" width="375" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tashadoestulsa/4414460329/" title="Park Day by Tasha Does Tulsa, on Flickr"><img alt="Park Day" height="500" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4072/4414460329_8fcd4d54f5.jpg" width="375" /></a></div><br />The naughtiness, it is strong with this one. <br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tashadoestulsa/4415227964/" title="Park Day by Tasha Does Tulsa, on Flickr"><img alt="Park Day" height="500" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4014/4415227964_1c60c9f866.jpg" width="375" /></a></div><br />Sometimes, though I'm pretty sure it's just a chip off the old block, the naughtiness streak is too much for me to handle. Not when the kid puts his remote control car down the slide - that's pretty funny to me, actually - but rather when he's staging a sit-in at the grocery store because I won't buy him a box of White Castle burgers (who does that??) or running through the house stark naked and laughing hysterically when I'm trying to wrangle him into the bathtub, stopping only to pee in the floor. When I tell my mom about his antics she likes to say things like, gee, that sounds familiar or that paybacks are a you-know-what.<br /><br />Which makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tashadoestulsa/4415227348/" title="Park Day by Tasha Does Tulsa, on Flickr"><img alt="Park Day" height="640" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4015/4415227348_3a1a292495_o.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br />But, shoot. <br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tashadoestulsa/4415309884/" title="Park Day by Tasha Does Tulsa, on Flickr"><img alt="Park Day" height="500" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2780/4415309884_a8541e4513.jpg" width="375" /></a></div><br />With this guy, it sure is tough to stay fed-up for long.
