Sophie on the Loose

Okay....so this whole being a parent of two children has been...lets say stimulating, so far. Sophia continues to love love love being a big sister (and I mean LOVE! She literally drowns Sam in hugs and kisses), and Sam continues to eat, sleep, and poop. My biggest challenge has been those eyes in the back of my head that I thought mom's were supposed to grow. Here's a list of the things Sophia has gotten herself into while I've been preoccupied with Sam:

- Poured an entire bottle of shampoo on the carpet upstairs in Sam's room. I walked in on her suds-ing up his whole room. Great. At least it was only shampoo. I mean, carpets are supposed to be shampooed right? And now his room smells like Aveda...lemon-y spa smell. He'll like it.

- Colored the inside of the computer desk drawer with crayons. I didn't know that crayons would stick to glass....and why won't it come off? It's wax!

- Got herself and her baby doll into the bathtub...fully clothed...and proceeded to slather her baby, and the tub, in another entire bottle of shampoo (what's with this shampoo obsession?). I walked in on her slipping and sliding around the tub with her baby; she looked up at me with those cute baby blues and said "Look at me! I wash the baby!"

- Shattered my cute Pottery Barn tea canister.

- Broke a DVD. (It was the Strawberry Shortcake one...she didn't really like it anyway....I mean obviously not if she broke it!)

- Gotten into my makeup more than once and proceeded to give herself these crazy looking red-and-brown-faced makeovers. Good thing she's adorable!

- Wallpapered my bedroom with about 20 maxi pads she somehow got a hold of. Boy am I glad I saw THAT one before anyone came over to the house! That would have been embarassing.

- Filled a coffee mug with coffee grounds and proceeded to eat it. Seriously. Hyper.

I'm sure this list will grow. I've discovered that I need to not only baby-proof the house, but toddler-proof it as well.

Sophia may be mischievous sometimes, but she always comes to me with the sweetest smile and actually says she's sorry when she's done (it sounds like this: "I swahh-ree mama!") So it's impossible to get mad at her! Not to mention, she tops it all off with a kiss! Geesh. What's a girl to do?
