Never a good thing, right? Corinne's list of Naughty Things from yesterday alone:
- Got glue from the craft shelves (in the laundry room! She had to bring a stool in to get them down. WHERE was I?!?).
- Opened and poured said glue on her play table. She made an art project with pom poms and paper. And glue. Lots and lots of glue...
- Used her brother's toy airplane to jab holes into the boxes of Cub Scout popcorn that do NOT belong to me.
- Moved her bed in an attempt to get the cat from under her bed. While doing so, she knocked over her small table with books on it and decided that reading would be a great idea. About 2 dozen books, scattered across the room. And all of that was while she was in TIME OUT. (books got confiscated. Don't fret. She has hundreds of books...)
- Colored on the floor with orange crayon.
- Dismantled her brother's Tinker Toy creation that was stored on a shelf. Again, HOW??
- Pulled her dresser over. Yes. She could have died and I am still freaking out about that... But WHY? Why did she pull it over? Because she wanted to see if there was a flashlight on top of it. Which makes perfect sense, of course...
When the boys were getting their allowances, she pulled the lip out and cried to Daddy that she wanted allowance, too. Daddy, who hadn't been witness to the magnitude of naughtiness that was her highness yesterday afternoon, pulled out a dollar since she had helped clean so much (really, she's a great helper). When I sat her on the counter and had her tell Daddy the things she had done and then asked her if she really, truly deserved that dollar?
She batted her eyes.
She held that dollar like a baby and pouted her lip and said "Please???" in a voice I didn't know she knew how to master already...
We are in SO MUCH trouble!

She would get along great with AJ. HUGS!
We can't ever let her meet Bad - they'd take over the universe. Whenever I tell him to stop doing something naughty he holds up a finger (like 'one') and says, with the world's most alluring smile, "mo(re)?"
"NO! NOT one more!" And he laughs and does it anyway. He's not even 2, what's he going to be doing to me at 3?
Good luck with that cutie!
Oh my. So soon? You guys are in TROUBLE:)
That was ONE DAY! Oy vey.
Yep. She's going to work it! Teach her early and teach her well or y'all will be in trouble.
We're telling ourselves to do the same thing with The Bean. I'd rather establish boundaries now than try when she's 13!
Saying prayers for both of us!
Eeek!! Sounds like she's a fair bit of mischief! Lucky she's so cute, eh? ;-)
she sure had been busy getting into mischief! you are in big trouble! :)
oh no! she was certainly busy wasn't she?! Did she get to keep the dollar?
You *ARE* saving for that convertible when she turns 16, right???
You can run but you can't hide!!!!
oh, her and My Matteo would be great partners in crime.He is crumbs right now,yet there is no food in sight. Add to that there is a soother in my running shoe and I just heard spitting....
Oh, the joys of 3-year old girls....daddys are just wrapped around their little fingers!! :)
Ahhhh, how fun! I miss those days! :o)
btw, she sounds alot like my middle child (also a girl). And she turned out just fine! A really great kid. (we did go through about 10 yrs of what you are going through to get to this point...but she turned out lovely!)
That popcorn belong to you now ;) I hope it was a nice picture she drew on the floor at least.
Don't worry, I'm sure it will only get better (I'm just saying that...we know it won't.)
Yes, I vividly remember the evening Atlee dumped an entire bottle of craft glue into the fish tank. Glue= Danger.
Atlee also once pulled a dresser over on herself. Definitely scary.
What a day!!! Whoever came up with the phrase "silence is golden" definitely did not have little kids.
We actually moved the dresser out of Noah's room because I am afraid that he'd end up pulling it over too...and it's a big dresser. I never quite know what to expect with that kiddo.
