Mayhem achieved, boredom relieved.

My daughter has turned into a mayhem-machine virtually overnight. This morning I took her out of her PJs, changed her diaper, and left her to play in her room while I rinsed out the poo. (We use cloth diapers at the insistence of my economical husband) The freedom of wearing only a diaper must've made her a bit giddy, because I soon heard her cackling with laughter and babbling like a maniac. I walked into our bedroom where poor Jason was still trying to sleep, and I saw that Lucie had grabbed the ceiling fan remote control from the nightstand, turned on the light, and was turbo-crawling in circles while making as much noise as possible. I asked her what she was doing, and she stopped and waved, giving me the most mischievous smile I've ever seen on a 13-month-old.
Later in the day she emptied a laundry basket onto the floor, yanked her books off of their shelves, and pulled all of my Tupperware out of a kitchen cabinet. Then, at the grocery store, she kept turning around and dumping the canned green beans onto the bananas. Finally, on the way home, she manged to pull a grocery bag right up to her, pull out the bread, and she began squeezing it into a bread ball. This girl is going to be trouble. She can barely walk more than two consecutive steps, and she is already keeping me on my toes.

I'm in ur liberry, de-alphabetizing ur bookshelfs.

Oh, I so feel for you! While it is really fun to watch kids this age exploring and learning about their world, it is insanely exhausting! My son is 15 months old and he is now climbing on my kitchen table and pulling things out of the trash, repeatedly! It seems to be something new every day! Oh and thanks for visiting my blog, I haven't been blogging that long and it is nice to have new people visit!

Teddy Ruxpin, you have offended me for the last time. I shall poke thine eye!

Take THAT, you jackanape!

Bonus points for use of the word "jackanape". It would have been triple word score if you had included the adjective, "scallawag-visaged" before it, though.

Okay, your baby can spell dealphabetized, but she can't spell library.

Scoff.
