Keeping Me Busy

This child! Luci has a mind of her own! (Just like her momma, you say?) Yesterday, she took her baggy full of crayons into our bedroom and climbed up on the bed. I went in just a minute later and she had chewed up several crayons, swallowed some, and then spat out the rest all over the bed. Yuck! Thank goodness the comforter and sheets are multi-colored, so even after washing it does not look too bad.



Then--Luci tells me she has to "go potty." Until yesterday, this means she sits on her little potty for a few seconds, then gets up and runs off. Usually the diaper or pull-up doesn't even get taken off. Until yesterday. I followed her, again about 30 seconds later, and she had managed to get out a new roll of toilet paper and tear off strips, dunk them into the big potty and wash her bottom. YUCK!! After disinfecting her with lots of soap, I thought the excitement was all over.



Until today. She ran off with a pencil (yes, I know she's not supposed to run with a pencil, but you try chasing a fast two-year-old who has a head start!) and made it to our bedroom again, where she managed to leave some nice artwork on the walls. I asked, "Who did that drawing?" "The bear," she said, pointing to an innocent-looking Winnie the Pooh. Oh, right. The bear doesn't even have fingers to hold the pencil. Am I supposed to believe that?? Where is that Mr. Clean Magic Eraser when you need it?
