It's not that Tanner intentionally causes chaos. He just IS chaos. In fact, he's a walking disaster. If it's glass he will break it, if it's furniture he will break it, if it's electronic he will break it. If it's tearable it will be torn and if it's throwable it will be thrown. Over the last year Tanner has casually dropped or thrown all my drinking glasses and picture frames, violently shattered three TV's and two DVD players. He has easily flipped over several end tables and busted the back out of a couch. He has shredded our clothing and bruised our skin. Still, this pandemonium is no big deal because it's our "normal". We fix it. We replace it. And we TRY to "Tanner Proof" it.
After jumping on and splitting the couch we bought a couple of spares from IKEA
in his room and let him throw books around until he cools down

Most of the time this kid is so adorable that I want to be around him
just to watch how he enjoys his life. He smiles at me, he hugs me and
he teases me. His excitement and laughter make me so happy!
