You might have a Joey if...

1. You find your keys missing...and stuffed carefully into a scented candle.
2. You find the spices dumped out...with car tracks running through them and some delicious smelling hotwheels nearby. (And your vacuum emits an amazing aroma for the next couple of months after the cleanup.)
3. You find a friend's flip flop...floating in the flamingo pool at the zoo, waiting to be retrieved by a zoo keeper wearing very tall golashes. (Yes, of course, your Joey threw it in.)
4. You find your baby spitting up...blue spitup because of the marker your Joey so lovingly gave him to suck on.
5. You find an assortment of trash...tucked carefully under the deck outside. Who knew we had an "outside trashcan?"
6. You find a river...in the sandbox...made by the hose...everyday for a week.
7. You find a toy school bus with the door pried off...because it was meant to be a mail truck instead.
8. You find your Joey...in a random neighbor's yard after a panicky search by yourself and several eager neighborhood children.
9. You find makeup...all over your Joey's face. Or marker. Or whatever.
10. You find that breakfast is already served...a raw hotdog or a bowl of shredded cheddar eaten with a spoon is healthy, right?

So if any of these things have happened to you, you might be lucky enough to have a Joey too.
I adore my Joey. He's sweet, affectionate, and A LOT of fun. He's brave and silly and makes life interesting. And when does something naughty, he does it with STYLE.

It must be a 2nd child thing. Lillyanne is fiercely independent and soo good at making mischief. If I ever find something in a random place or something not quite right, it is usually the work of Lilly. :)
