مشاكس كبير

مشاكس كبير [mushaakis kabiir] - a very big "gets into everything" kind of person, used in describing little boys especially.

Noah is everywhere!!! This kid is all over the place!! He brings chaos to order, loud to quiet, and broke to non-broke.

I love having a little boy! This morning he was crawling across the floor chasing his ball and he finally cornered it by the bookshelf at the end of our couch [a place he had never seen before]. He looks up and sees all the books that we had been hiding from him. Instead of just tearing into them and throwing them all over the place, he stops.......

he looks at me with this "ohhhh...now I know" face, he smiles really big, and then rips into them scattering them all over the floor!! He had nearly digested half of one of my old journals before I got to him!!!

If he is crawling by something and they are stacked up, he knocks them over. If there is something on the table when he is standing next to it, he throws it off! He is going to destroy our house!! I love it. I spent most of the morning excited about building forts and playing Cowboys vs Indians, or Bedouin vs Turks, or Homeland Security vs Terrorists.

*the pics are meandering through some Roman ruins yesterday. We saw the place where Jesus cast the demons into the pigs, Lake Tiberius, and the church built by the Jerusalem Church after it fled persecution. My favorite pic is Noah with his police hat on.
