Catherine is discovering things every day.
Like if she finds my car keys, she can press the little red button and outside in the driveway the minivan horn starts honking. Repeatedly. For several minutes until Mommy finds her and stops it.
Like if she goes in the refrigerator when Mom's not looking, sometimes there is leftover wine there that can be guzzled.
Then there's Elisabeth.
Elisabeth's 3-year-old trick this morning was to "help" with the laundry. Which means pulling all the clean, folded laundry off the table and down onto the floor into the heaps of dirty laundry, tromping through everything and mixing thoroughly until I can't tell which is which. This means either: a) washing most of it again; or b) giving it all the sniff-test item by item; c) just guessing and folding and putting away some dirty laundry; or d) just admitting there is no good answer here.

Heehee. Cute. I can totally see the appeal of both of those activities to a toddler mind!
Sounds like you had quite a day! I can almost hear the excited giggle of little girls having lots of fun.
How's it going Nancy. I had to giggle at your girls today. I still can't believe they are 3!!!!
You mean your keys are usually WITH the child when you find them. I tend to hear car a car alarm going off, head to find a child, and learn that neither of them has the keys.
Monster Girl takes keys, and when the alarm sounds, she usually just loses interest and puts them down.
Now, the wine thing. Never experienced that. But I'm going to learn from your lesson. I hadn't really considered a) how easily vacuum seals come off or b) how similar to grape juice wine must look to a toddler.
now, if you'd actually finish the wine, you wouldn't care about the laundry....
or, you could do what i always aspire to do (but never quite get to), which is to actually put the laundry away when it comes out of the dryer.... heh, sorry, you want *realistic* solutions, and that's a fantasy in my world!
It warms my heart to see these big, bad girls...
It wasn't that long about that I remember them being so tiny and helpless...
That's right...
Blame the missing wine on your daughter...
Geesh....
Heh, yeah, she drank 6 or 7 bottles, little hellion!!
Well you know what that means with the wine? You'll just have to drink it all next time! It might help when dealing with the wash too.
