Toddler Tuesday: Come on, you were all thinking it!

  I have decided that since toddlers have enough energy, imagination and personality for two children, they really need a special day each week. One special day to write about the exciting (ha!), destructive, bewildering and hilarious (after the fact at least) adventures they have day after day.

  Since many of my readers have toddlers of their own, I know this post will be appreciated. I encourage you to add your own toddlers (mis)adventures in the comments. Because since they are going to find something to get into regardless, we might as well all have a good chuckle about it!

  Of the top of my head, here are a few of Lucy's imaginative messes from the last week or two. I assure you there are MANY more that I've blocked out so that I can try and remember all the cute and adorable things she says and does, and continue to like her Lol.

  Not even half an hour ago I went to get a drink of water. I reuse one glass all day and keep it by the sink. When I picked it up to refill it I noticed something shiny in the bottom. Upon further inspection the shiny items were also a little slimy. She had found a broken necklace I had stashed in an unused tea light decoration, awaiting my next trip to the mall. She had taken the hand lotion beside the sink, pumped a couple squirts of lotion into the tea light section of the decoration then (I'm assuming) tried to wash it off with the bit of water in glass. At least she was trying to clean up after herself?!
 
  Last week I walked into the kitchen to find her standing beside a huge white powder "puddle" on the floor. Looking closer, she was also coated in a fine white powder and was licking it off of her hands, which were caked with it. That mess turned out to be popcorn seasoning. Guess we forgot to put it back in the spice cupboard the night before. That'll teach us not to pick up after ourselves.

  She is not allowed to play with my new iPhone, however I did keep my old iPhone and let her use that. She has basically made a game out of trying to sneak my new phone anytime I set it down.  A few days ago during one of those times she found it, she discovered it had a camera. Later that night I deleted over 40 photos of her eye and forehead. All exactly the same picture.

  Lucy disappeared down the hall a couple days ago. I noticed because it got really quiet all of a sudden. You all know what I'm talking about. Your working away on some task or chore and suddenly realize, it's quiet. TOO quiet. Then you drop what your doing and hurry off to find the source of the quiet. What mess has your toddler found to keep them busy and quiet this long?! Well this particular day, Lucy had discovered my essential oils. I had quite a few of them out on my headboard because Avary was sick and I'd been using them on her. She was covered in eucalyptus oil and my floor was covered in sweet almond oil. On a positive note, my floors shiny, and if she had any cold symptoms the eucalyptus would have cleared it right up. She smelled good too!

  Make sure to share your toddler stories too! And remember, we might as well approach them with humor
or we'll all end up with nervous breakdowns ;)
