As a mother of a two year old, I am always amazed at how clever/ mischievious she can be. I do not think MM really hit the terrible twos until just a month ago. Perhaps the competition for attention switched a gear in her head, but lately she has become nearly impossible to keep up with. The following is a list of her activities:
1. After finally getting the long wished for liquid Zantac for my son, MM got the bottle and dumped the entire contents of said bottle all over one of my upholstered chairs in the living room. Thankfully we were able to get a refill for the Zantac. I am still working on getting the sticky from the chair.
2. She painted her face with lipstick.
3. She drew on the walls with a magic marker. Thank God for magic eraser!
4. She got an entire bottle of baby powder and dumped it all over herself and her bedroom.
5. She used an entire tube of chapstick on her face and lips.
6. She painted the fireplace hearth with chocolate milk because she wanted to.
7. She took all of her clothes off, put on her boots and ran into the garage. Thankfully the garage doors were closed!
8. She chased the cats from the basement, to the main floor, upstairs and then down again.
9. She poked holes into all my February bills. I only wished I could do this. At the same time, she decorated one of my student's assignments that I had accidently left on the table.
10. She figured out that her play chair is the correct size for getting up onto the vanity in the spare bathroom and got into the basket of soaps, lotions and toothpaste that I had put by the sink for guests to use. The bathroom mirror and MM smelled wonderful, but both needed to be washed afterwards.
I can't wait to see what else she gets into.
watch out for small objects that can be inserted into the nose. Anthony LOVED to do this! Dried beans and peas were his favorite items! He only stopped when I said said pea in his nose and I personally took it upon myself to remove it with tweezers. Seeing mom come at his nose with a shiney object and then inserting it in his nose was too much for him to bare.
