So far this week I have taped a ripped book, cleaned marker off the dining room table, cleaned crayon off the leather ottoman, cleaned pink fingernail polish off a dollhouse and two bedroom walls (and then re-painted them). Whew! I am exhausted and it's only Monday.
One may wonder if our precocious three-year-old is not watched or monitored, question if she is free to run amok in our home. But I would guess that most moms (myself included) can testify that mischief happens in mere minutes. One minute your three-year-old is playing right there next to you, happily singing a little tune. You get up to go to the bathroom and you re-enter the room, only to wonder where said three-year-old has gone. Then you find her scribbling with crayons under the coffee table. I spend most of my day at home with our two kids and I cannot believe how quickly our toddler can disappear (while I am cooking dinner, doing school lessons with Nicholas, vacuuming, etc.) only to re-appear showing the telltale signs of a girl who likes mischief, or a girl who is three. Same difference.
The nail polish incident was a doozy with bright pink polish on two of Ella's bedroom walls (thankfully her walls are already pink) and inside and outside of her new dollhouse. This incident happened when she was suppose to be asleep. I guess we will be needing to lock our bathroom door from now on.
Oh Heavens, I think I have had more grey hair sprout on my head in these last two days than all of our darling girl's three years combined. Praying it's all rainbows and sunshine these next few days, Lord knows I need it!
