A Bit too much FREEDOM

Dear Lindsey,

Oh you dear sweet 2 1/2 year old, you are driving me absolutely CRAZY!!
Today you have:
  • shredded the little foam inserts to the dollhouse furniture bunk beds
  • refused to eat your breakfast (after refusing to eat your dinner last night) and therefore you're hungry and cranky
  • emptied 3 separate baggies of 100 piece puzzles all into one pile
Yesterday you:
  • Ran away from me at Target and when I put you in the cart you began to tear the packaging of the gift I was buying, when I replaced that item with some rolls of wrapping paper you began to eat them!
  • When you refused to eat your dinner you went to your big sister and stole her fork right off her plate and ran away with it. When I told you to give it back to her, you threw it in her face poking her
  • Ate your snack, Sam's first snack and then squashed his replacement snack before he could get it--it's no wonder you didn't eat dinner!=)
Last week you:
  • Emptied a 1/2 full box of Baking Soda all over my recently mopped kitchen floor and then tracked it all over the tile--you were supposedly "eating lunch" while I was nursing Matthew.
  • During "resting time" you found a small tube of bright blue toothpaste and spread it all over your hand, and then came downstairs to show me putting a beautiful hand print on the wall in the process, some also got on the carpet and all over the counter in the bathroom
I know the "2's" can be terrible, but you're lucky you're cute and say the funniest things. Heavenly Father must have known it would save your life!=)

I really am glad you're in my family, even though you're pushing boundaries (and I am a sitting duck when I nurse Matthew for 4 hours of the day--and you seem to THRIVE in this FREEDOM). You make us smile more than you make us frown and you ALWAYS give me hugs and kisses upon request and even when I don't.
