einstein on the beach

okay this should really be called "einstein in the kitchen driving everyone insane" but i was trying to do a little shout-out to one of my favorite counting crows songs. this is what einstein decided to do while we had the missionaries AND the home teachers over at the same time. keep in mind that einstein has autism & is not mentally retarded. he is very intelligent & for the most part knows how to act appropriately. but on this night he wanted to prove us wrong:

-playing scratch 'n' sniff with the kitchen wallpaper that has vegetables on it...i'm pretty sure he licked it also but was trying not to give him my full-on attention so this was just peripheral vision stuff

-laying on the kitchen floor going around and around saying he was "sweeping it with his pants" instead of just grabbing the broom (resembled homer simpson in this picture, imagining it going around and around...thanks BG for the myspace pic)


-fit himself into a teeny cupboard...you know the one that you usually put cookie sheets in? yep that's the one. his head did stick out though. that kid has a big noggin.

-hopped around in a kangaroo stance, entering & exiting the kitchen this way repeatedly

-to top it off he had just gotten a hair cut that resembled a cross between julie andrews in "the sound of music" & wart from "a sword in the stone" ...only his hair is a deep red



what do you do with this stuff?? that's right, ignore him. you're learning.
