a favorite pastime

Miss Chloe you sure are a busy girl. You always seem to find something to get into. Often times, actually most times, these are usually activities or things that you would be better off avoiding...nonetheless, you still choose to use all of the energy in that tiny little body of yours to keep mommy on her toes, making sure that I don't take my eyes off of you for even one second....just so you don't forget here is just a few of your pastimes to date...

using markers as chapstick (see post below)
turning the toilet bowl into your personal water station
trying to discover just how many washclothes will fit into the toilet (it's actually quite a bit)
undressing yourself and losing the diaper if mommy doesn't change you fast enough...despite the contents
taking all the wipes out of the box, one by one, right after I just filled it
asking for a "big girl" cup of water just to turn right around and dump it all on the floor
deciding that sleeping in the nude would be more comfortable and taking off every article of clothing including diaper...forgetting that you are not yet potty-trained
unrolling the entire roll of toilet paper so you can wipe your nose (why do so many of these activites take place in the bathroom...??)
picking the flowers out of our neighbors freshly planted flowerbeds...no I didn't teach her that one
eating the leftover sunflower seed shells off of the field at Ella's soccer games and practice
pulling all of the floss out of the container, yard by yard...there is alot of floss in those things, more than you think
poking holes into anything and everything...fruit, vegetables, bread, saran wrap...okay so this is something I used to do
taking apart post-it note stacks on by one
and her more recent....emptying all of my lower cabinets (yes, they have locks and yes she figured them out before she could even walk) onto the floor on a daily basis

this face looks a bit guilty...don't you think?

i love her wrinkled nose in this picture..."this is hard work mom"

hard to get upset at this face

i ♥ u chloe, thank you for never allowing a dull moment into our day
