Some people call it creativity. Some say it's experimenting with surroundings. Some say it's being productive, while others say it's pure vision. Whatever your position, when a 2 year old sabotages YOUR things...it just seems destructive. ;)
Case in point...my favorite shoes. One of these is not like the other...anymore. (But Mommy, I needed a plate for my Barbie. Creative, right? It doesn't go back on. If we could even find it.)
And what home would REALLY be a home if it's newly painted "Celestial White" walls did not see some of this..... (visionary? Architectural blueprints for a genius magnum opus?)
Please tell me that your 2 year old does/did this too...cause for the life of me, I can not figure out why she takes the wrappers off E.V.E.R.Y time she colors. My professional opinion is...because she can. (At least she saves the trees and recycles these tiny bits. My environmental activist.)...hmmm, I just noticed her coloring page...I swear we don't buy light porno coloring books for our kids, although you might wonder with that pic...it's a princess book, that's sleeping beauty (or seeping booty in her words)...yikes.
And now, releasing the educational independence. Looks as though my 2 year old has decided that there are only 4 letters in her alphabet that really matter, and thus destroyed the rest. Our Veggie Tales ABC book now reads like this...
Lastly, after nipping my toe on something sharp, I followed a path like Hansel and Gretel's, up the stairs, down the hall and into said 2 year olds' room, right to the play kitchen. Upon opening the "cupboard door", feast your eyes on this secret endeavor...
And a close up...
And the result of her scientific light bulb smashing experiment...
God bless all the 2 year olds...
but more than that...
God bless their parents!

I used to feel kind of judgemental on parents who seemingly just let there kids run around in destruction mode.... I'm not saying that parents shouldn't reign in their little bundles of joy... but man have you ever tried to control a tornado...? These kids are like a force of nature man.. but way more sneakier.. you turn look once and there sitting there like little angels ... turn your back for a second.. and boom.. its all over.

Ok, so I will just start taking more pictures of the destruction--If it cannot be avoided I might as well document it well. Yesterday I found Carmen with sunscreen all over her clothes and hair. I realized that she had climbed up multiple shelves to get to the tube, which by the way was completely empty. The wall, clean blankets and floor were also coated.
I just thought that she was taking a nap.
