Rockwell Lawrence, aka the cutest real-life Elf on the Shelf [1] ever, is back at it again with a new photo series. This time, the sweet little babe is a real-life leprechaun, and he's been making appearances all over the house in the days leading up to St. Patrick's Day.

Just like in his Elf on the Shelf series, Rockwell is popping up all over the place, getting himself into mischief and posing in precarious positions. However, this go-around in front of the camera has been a little bit different, according to Rockwell's dad, Alan Lawrence: "The leprechaun project has been a little more challenging than the elf because of the beard. Rockwell loves to pull it off or pop it in his mouth right before we take the photo."

Sounds like the most adorable problem we've ever heard!

Read through to see the pictures of Rockwell the leprechaun so far — including Alan's favorite photo of him painting the family dog, Annie — and be sure to check Alan's blog [2], Instagram [3], and Facebook [4] for more photos leading up to St. Paddy's Day!
