The morning began with her smearing the entire contents of a jar of Vicks Vapo-rub all over herself. "Medicine, mommy".
Two hours later, during a mid-morning snack, I turned my back for two minutes, during which she smeared the entire contents of her container of strawberry yogurt all over the kitchen table, chairs, and floor.
At nap time, we had a 3 1/2 hour standoff. She thinks she doesn't need naps anymore. I think she is two. And she doesn't know what is good for her.
At 5 o'clock, otherwise known as "the witching hour", I found her sitting at the kitchen island, and she had dug out a solid shimmer palette with her fingernail and smashed it to smitherines all over the entire island, barstool, herself, and left a trail into the pantry where she was apparently looking for a snack. Shimmer everywhere. Hours to clean it up. Who knew you could have too much shimmer???
Does anyone else have days like these?

unrelated...but interesting parenting moment:
tonight i turned on a movie...unaware that 3 minutes in it has a sex scene. riley is watching it with me. when i see where it is heading....i quickly jump up and turn it off...fumbling for the remote...pressing buttons in a panic...all while saying "this is not for kids to watch...this is a grown up movie apparently.."
and riley's eyes are GLUED to the screen...finally it is off and i say "sorry about that riley but that is grown-up stuff"
and she says "what were they going to do? kiss naked? kiss privates?"
and my insides screamed.
i just said "they were just going to kiss....and stuff....let's go read one of your books!"
anyway....i think avery is hilarious.
OMG!!!
I'm sorry it is days like that where you wonder what you have gotten yourself into:-(
Trust me we all have days like that!! Mine usually contain eggs and toothpaste;-)
Can't wait for our little guy to come around they will have plenty of "alone" time to cause trouble.
