This really got me laughing the other day. Brennan says he is so strong because he has his "super dangle punchers & claws" Not sure what it means or where it came from, but I laughed for a while, after I figured out what he was saying.
Elsie has been a bit of a terror the past few days. Let's start with 2 days ago...she didn't nap. Never fell asleep after 2 hrs in bed crying, playing, chattering away. Hit the wall around 5 p.m. Enough said?
(Here's my little teenage boy)
Yesterday, while I was teaching preschool, she got into my sister's purse and dumped a bottle of essential oils all over herself. It had peppermint oil in it & was hurting her eyes so my sis had to clean it off with olive oil (a tip I didn't know).
Fast forward to later in the day. She was playing with the night light in Brennan's room. Somehow it blew a fuse for half the house. She may have licked it, not sure...
Last night, it was almost bed time, kids were bathed, Rich was not yet home from work, I was in the shower. I hear shreiking screams. I hurry & throw on clothes to find her screaming & pulling at her mouth & face. I couldn't figure out what was wrong. It turns out she had climbed up onto the desk and duped out my reed diffuser (it's a scented oil air freshener thing) I think she tried to drink it because it smelled good. We (Rich was home by then) called poison control & threw her in the bath. Thank goodness, she was fine. It did turn her skin bright red since it had cinnamon oil in it. The diffuser has gone to the trash. DCFS has been warned. I have, too. Rich informed me that I need to watch her better. hmmm...

Yikes! That does sound a little terrifying. I think it's amazing that any children survive the dangers of toddlerhood. We're on the brink of some serious explorations by Lily, and I'm a little apprehensive. Good luck!
A mom has to shower some time, ya know? It seems my kids always find that shower time is a good opportunity for mischief. Sounds like quite a day. Ugh! Glad she(and you) survived it all.
If they only knew!
Sounds like you are getting busier! It reminds me when my son when he was about 2, tried to spray strawberry cream odor eraser that we had in the bathroom into his mouth. He had his mouth wide open when my husband caught it just in time. Not that we didn't baby proofed the house before but some things go unnoticed sometimes...
She will settle down someday and the war will be over. You might actually miss it later;-)
Wow, sounds vaguely familiar - see post from a couple days ago - and the part I didn't include was about her OD'ing on Triaminic that she had to climb up on top of my bathroom counters to get AND get the CHILDPROOF cap off. Oh, Karyn, the absolute JOYS of having a 2 year old. BLEAH!
Sounds like she would get along well with Jack . . . although I really wouldn't want to see what they managed to come up with together :)
wowza...shes a little bitty crazy one, but we all love her to death. I love what brennan said, so funny.
