I geeked out so bad. oh, and the day he was born, he decided to spray his first poopy all over me, from my chest down to my foot, while I was changing his first peepee. See? I can relate. Hooray for me.

Thankfully, not with my precious angel, though. He has only pooped on the sitter's FLOOR once or twice. That'll teach her not to listen to him when he says he has to go potty!!

A cousin of mine used to feed snails to his little brother... the best part on that was seeing the crunched shells stuck between the teeth of the little one. You're also lucky your little one doesn't sleepwalk! We have that in our family and one of us actually too a dump once in the middle of the living room carpet.

All I have is a cactus but from past experience with little "monkeys" like your (well, not exactly ones with such high IQ & EQ) I can only give you one hint: watch him (or warn your sitter) when he's around other kids, especially smaller ones... Last time I remember the 2 year old I was taking care of (couldn't read but could speak 2 languages with different accents!) went very quietly to his baby sister's crib, climbed inside (they are most dangerous the more quiet they are!!!), opened her diaper (maybe wanting to copy me or his mom)... then saw all that nice brown material and couldn't control the little artist inside him: painted her, her whole crib, blankies, EVERYTHING with sh*t, THEN as if it wasn't enough, he thought she looked hungry! You get the point. Mom goes inside thinking "mmm... too quiet in there..." and almost passed out from the smell and the view, especially from noting them both smiling there all happy and innocent, the baby still chewing and all. Other than that, good luck with your little one! Like with everything kids related: it's all a phase! Hello your highness, oh mighty Mocking Queen…
