love her, I enjoy her, but MAN a two year old can make life interesting when moving. :)

Instead of unpacking and cleaning I sat down and enjoyed my Sunday Afternoon. We finally rented a truck to take the rest of the small things: plants, junk drawer, hoses, dog crate type things, and brought them home. We're in the process of cleaning and fixing up holes and such that were even from us but from the previous owner-- as we want to make sure our $1000 deposit comes back!!

I love my new home and all the new appliances that I got sweet deals on from craigslist. One of them, I think my mother should own. It turns the oven off automatically once the cooking time is done, so you don't keep the oven on or forget about the oven -- that would keep her from ruining her rolls! I only wish that some one would adopt Abby for a month. I can't go into a different room without her ruining something!!!

Here's just a list of some of the things she's done in the last 3 or 4 days, not to complain but to give you an idea:

-poured dish washing detergent for the dishwasher through the strings and keys of our baby grand piano (and no, it was the powder kind)
-found a permenant marker and used it up on our furniture, newly painted walls, and onions not to mention herself! --she looked like a black baby. I felt like modonna for a day.
- locked the cats in a room long enough that they used the a different kind of litter box
-poured baby powder/aveeno oatmeal for the bath all over the new floors
-found bubbles and spilled the liquid all over the carpet --try getting an eternity of bubbles out!!
- got into diaper rash cream and put it everywhere including the walls i was going to paint


along with others.

I love her, I enjoy her, but MAN a two year old can make life interesting when moving. :)

  1. it's true! I'm thinking you should invest in some kiddie locks before you do anything else, ones for cupboards, drawers, and doors :) and maybe put a bell on her so you can hear where she is at :) I'm sorry, def not fun, but at least she painted on your walls and not deposit ones....

  2. Try Kilz - an the walls, not Abby. Its pretty efficent at covering up stuff like permanent marker so it can be covered with paint. We have had some experience in that area.

    I agree with Katie, child safety locks should be a high priority item for purchase and installation.

    Unlimited curiosity and imagination is a good thing in a child - just not always easy to live with.
