Remember in my last post when I said Evelyn is getting bigger and more wonderful each day? I take that back.
This morning, while Jon was in the bathroom, she found a glass Christmas tree ornament (one that wasn't even on the tree and we have no idea where it came from) and scratched the living hell out of our flat-screen TV. It's bad.
Then she changed the settings on the dishwasher, which melted a pyrex container lid.
Add that to the dresser-falling-on-top-of-her-as-she-balanced-in-the-top-drawer incident, the crayons all over the bedroom TV incident, the mascara all over the eyes (and couch!) incident, and I think she has a touch of the crazies. It's genetic, I fear, as my brother and I used to torment my mother with similar shenanigans.
Also, last night she walked into my room and said, "Rachel, I need some ice cream." Huh?
Heaven help us as she gets even taller and craftier.

Hahahahaha, all of that is so funny, but so wrong! Not being a parent, i fear i'm treading on dangerous territory when i ask...is there a time out corner??? this post has pushed back my child bearing by at least another year.
Nora scratched the alphabet into our 1982 large screen tv (quite an investnment at that time.) Also cracked her head open after dancing on a TV and pulled a microwave down on her. She turned out alright and never got disowned. I think though the AA mantra may help you through as children's behaviors and the ill effects of alcohol have some similarities, "God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
and wisdom to know the difference."
I totally remember laughing like crazy to the stories you told about when YOU were a toddler.
I'm just saying.
