So Far Today… (Updated as Necessary)
So far today Little Girl has:
• climbed on the sofa repeatedly until I took her out of her corral so she wouldn’t fall off the sofa and cause me to rush her to the ER with a head wound;
• reached up and stolen food off my plate as I was eating (if she teaches the dog to do that, she’s totally grounded);
• pushed her exersaucer from over by the closet into the kitchen cooking area (because what else is there to do with it when you don’t fit in it anymore right?);
• found Mike’s leftover glass full of melted ice on the table, pulled it off the table intact and then, as soon as I got near her to take it away so she wouldn’t spill it, spilled it all over the floor and herself;
• sprayed herself and Melody with the spray bottle;
• tried to push Melody down numerous times, as well as “hugging” and “kissing” her (Melody, bless her heart, endures it all);
• climbed up and down the three steps to the loft that are not blocked off (yes she has figured how to climb down without killing herself);
• shoved the big recycle bin to a position next to her saucer where one side of the cooking area is totally blocked off (I’m leaving it that way until her father gets home from church because I want him to see what he has in store tomorrow…ha!);
• pulled everything she can possibly reach off the table (including, but not limited to: scraps of paper, books, magazines, the telephone, the spray bottle, the cup, my purse - almost, a craft from VBS that one of the kids gave her, and a bag of sand toys that I got for our upcoming trip to San Diego);
• spun herself in circles while singing with her hands over her ears (while I watch her to make sure she doesn’t fall and crack her head open causing me to rush her to the ER - did I mention Mike has my car right now?);
• emptied Melody’s dog food dish while Melody was trying to eat out of it;
• put the food back in the dish while Melody was still trying to eat it;
• rinse, lather, repeat - the dog food trick until Melody finishes the dog food;
• pulled new garbage bags out of the box and put them (unused) into the garbage can;
• shoved the garbage can next to the previously shoved exersaucer and recycle bin further blocking access to the kitchen;
And she’s only been up two two and a half hours. Help!
Seriously, couldn’t she have saved some of this delightful energy for tomorrow???

No, no. Don’t show him. Let him figure it all out for himself tomorrow! Then you can say, “Welcome to my world, sweetie!”
HAHAHAH!!
