She's got Spirit

I love both of my children but I have my moments of thinking Elaine needs to go to Toddler Boarding School with all the other toddler delinquents. Today she has been well behaved so I can now think some of the things she has done this week are funny.

Some people may recognize these straws from Ikea. They come about 100 to a box, I think. Not all of them made to the floor with her help but quite a few did. I couldn't be mad for too long because she started singing a little song that she wrote. She was singing clean up, everybody clean up.



On Wednesday used one of her many "stools" to help clean out the cupboard. Later that day I noticed odd things floating in the pool such as pudding cups and drink cartons.

This is a picture I took yesterday morning before she went outside. She looked very cute despite what the picture looks like. She had to have her hat on and jacket buttoned to dump a bucket of rocks in the pool. I could tell she was about to do so I ran for her to stop it. She knew exactly what she was doing because she waited until I was almost to her and she hurried and dumped them all in. Looks like Rob will be spending some time cleaning the pool this weekend.
