Child's Play

Some of the things my two year old learned this week:

Flour is really, really hard to get into your trouser pockets.  It also makes a big mess.  And Mammy cross.

It is really, really easy to push a chair into the shower and climb up high to get at all the bottles on the shelf.  It also makes a big mess.  And Mammy cross.

It is really, really cool to climb up onto the counter in the kitchen to get at the chewy orange vitamins on the high shelf.  They also make a mess when you bite them and spit them [all]out.  And it makes Mammy cross.

It’s really, really hard (but possible) to get your hand in behind the chest freezer and turn it off for the weekend. And it makes Mammy cross.

It is really, really super fun to draw all over the walls in all the rooms in the house.  It makes a big, colourful mess.  And it makes Mammy (and Daddy) cross.

It is really, really uncomfortable to stay in a dirty nappy so it has to come off. But it makes a big mess.  And it makes Mammy cross.

It is really, really funny to batter Mammy’s yukka plant with a plastic sword.  It makes a big mess though.  And it makes Mammy cross.

It is really, really cool to get the face paints and draw on the baby’s face.    My two big brothers get annoyed with me if they get left out so they have to have a go too.  It makes a really colourful mess.  And it makes Mammy cross.  But kind of smile too.

It is really, really nice to rest my head on Mammy’s knee and tell her that she is a “ludey” Mammy.  It gets me a big kiss. And it makes Mammy smile.
