Paige, Paige, Paige...there are many days I wonder what I am going to do with this child. My oldest was such a good baby and toddler and never got into anything...we hardly had to "baby proof" at all. Paige on the other hand will get into anything...I mean that...everything that her little hands can reach...even if it is with the help of a chair, stool, or any other climbing material she can find...it's all fair game. We have locked cabinets, put the little safety door knobs on, we have used the baby gate...well little toddler Houdini has figured us out and she now knows how to open the door knobs and push down baby gates to get to what is on the other side. This child is curious and she lets nothing stand in her way. At times it is scary but it is pretty much always frustrating! There have even been ER visits and poison control calls to prove it. She can not be trusted alone even for a second because inevitably she will FIND SOMETHING to get into. She has dumped uncountable boxes of cereal on the floor, covered the rug with baby powder, spread powered sugar all over the kitchen floor, sprayed her body and eyes with an ENTIRE bottle of sunscreen, she has spread toothpaste all over the bathroom, unrolled all the rolls of toilet paper, has covered herself the walls and the floors in Vaseline, covered herself from head to toe in NOT so washable markers and she has used the stool in the kitchen to get brownies off the stove to share with the dog. Whoever said "you pay for your raising" is proving it to me daily. I am thinking maybe I should have been a better child growing up....is it to late to take it back???
