Two places at once

Yesterday while I was getting ready Jax was in my room watching sponge bob on my bed. Or so I thought. I had just poked my head out of the bathroom to make sure he was ok, and to make sure he was still there watching his show. Two minutes later Jax came walking in to the bathroom drinking from a sippy cup. I looked at him and said "what are you drinking and where did you get it?" He looked at me and grinned and said "I was thirsty so I went downstairs and made myself some ovaltine." I had to laugh because he was so proud of himself for doing this. I said "how did you make the ovaltine by yourself." He just looked at me like "DUH" mom. He said "I climbed up on the counter and got out da ovaltine, den I got da milk out of da fridge. Den I got a sippy cup out of the cupboard and I got out a spoon and put da ovaltine into da sippy cup. Den I poured da milk in to da sippy cup, den I stirred it!" I said "how did you pour the milk without spilling it?" He said "because im big mom." This comment was followed by an eye roll. Then he said "well, I sort of spilled da milk a LITTLE. But dont worry mom, I cleaned it up with a paper towel." I was having a difficult time keeping a straight face through this conversation. I asked him if he put the milk back in the fridge. Again he rolled his eyes and said "ya mom." I don't know how he went downstairs and made the ovaltine so fast. But since I cannot be in two places at once, I just had to laugh. He is getting so big and he just wants to do things himself, except when it involves cleaning up hisplayroom.

Your lucky it was a little spill. The first time Brecklyn did that she poured out about a haft a gallon. She was pouring a bowl of cereal.
