Buggle gum


Natalia is driving me nuts. If she is out of my sight she is into something. Here is a list of what she got into yesterday.

*Hot pink glitter from Halloween. Wyatt came and told me she was trying to put sparkles on his nose. When I got to her, it was all over the carpet.
*Wyatt said "Natalia has something that she shouldn't have. It looks kind of like lotion." It was Balmex. (Diaper rash cream) Her hands were covered in it, and she was happily rubbing them together. It took quite a bit of Dawn to get it all off.
*I walked down the stairs to find a lick-a-maid dumped all over my leather couch. She didn't just leave it there, she licked it. The powder was blue, and the wet spots were big green smears. Horrible.
*Her new thing is filling up a cup with water, and dumping it in the potty. The floor gets most of the water. I found her doing this twice today. Cyrus was the latest victim.
*She walked in the room with a big block of cheese. As soon as I saw her and said NO, she took a big bite.
*I took pictures of the kids with huge suckers last summer. I didn't want them to actually EAT the whole sucker, so I put them on the very top shelf of the cabinet. I have since forgotten about them, but Natalia did not. She has been plotting for 9 months. She must have been waiting to grow a few inches or something. I seriously don't know HOW she got it down, but she did.
*This happened on Sunday......I was doing my hair, and I heard her say "Looka me!" I shouldn't have looked. She was jumping on my bed, with no clothes on, WITH A BINKY IN HER MOUTH! It was Wyatt's old binky. I had it hidden away in my jewelry box. I told her there was no way we were doing that again, and had to chase her to get it.
*She keeps unbuckling the top part of seatbelt while I am driving.
*She gets my lip glosses and puts it on. The other day I caught her "painting" her toes with my favorite MAC lip gloss!
*Another one not from today. She announces to the world that she has to go poop while we are in a restaurant or at church. Then she sits on the potty for two seconds, and says "it doesn't work", and hops off. As soon as we get back to our table she says that she has to go again. She never does.
*Unrolled three spools of ribbon.
*Got a spoon and helped herself to some peanut butter.
*Got all the hair clips and bows and dumped them out. They are now all over the place, and I keep finding them in strange places or in her mouth.
*I was wiping the table and left the room to grab the phone. She came after me with the cleaner I was using and said "Looka me!", pointed it at me and pulled the trigger.
*She gets a two dollar bill from Great Grandma James every Christmas. She found hers and ripped one of them in half!!! (Don't tell Grandma Mom!)

I think that is it. I am sure there was more, but I can't remember ALL of them. I will mention that I love her to pieces, and not just when she is asleep! =)

She is such a sweet girl. I opened a package of cookies, handed one to her, and then reached back in the bag to get a cookie for Tori. I watched Natalia pass her cookie to Tori, and then wait for hers. She does things like this all the time. She is always worried about others. (I had to add something good to this post!)

(She asks for buggle gum all the time. Which is why I never by it, if I said no....she would just go find it herself. =)

Oh Jeri, this could have totally been one of my days with a few of my kids. All I can tell you, is it does get better. They do outgrow all of this, then they give you entirely new challanges. However, for me it is easier to handle them now that they are older.

You forgot the white board markers on the table and the eyeshadow in your blush brush. :-) She is such a hoot!!! I can't immagine her with buggle gum! Yipes. Maybe outside.... hummm, there is still hair outside, maybe not.

Some kids are just "busy," as my mom calls it! She sure is cute, though. I can't imagine licked lick-a-maid smeared on your light couch! Ew.

So funny! It's nice to hear sometimes that other kids get into stuff too! She is so cute though, it's hard to get mad at them when they look so dang cute!

Gosh, and I thought that Caleb got into things. Natalia is so creative!!

I had to tell you that I've had a lot of people over to my house in the last week for parties and get-togethers and everybody keeps telling me how much they love my family portrait. Usually it is with great disappointment that they learn you are in Maryland. So have you thought about coming out here for a trip?:) You'd hardly have time to see anything for all the photo shoots!

OH JERI. You and I should lock ourselves in a padded room. Natalia gives even my Tufters a run for his money :)
