I'd like to do more, but I have a 2 year old.

I'd like to blog more, read more, clean more, sleep more, exercise more, but I have a two year old.  Recently, she has really hit her stride in the Terrible Twos.  My son, who is 4, had worse threes than twos.  He had nothing on this two year old tornado I've got walking around.  My daughter screams, has these inconsolable tantrums, pushes, pulls hair, and gets into crazy things when I look away for a few seconds. I am sure I will get a lot more done after she is old enough that I'm not constantly cleaning her messes.

Here are just a few things my sweet daughter has gotten into while I wasn't looking:


  • Emptied a wipes container, twice.
  • Covered her legs in diaper cream.
  • Tried to drink my water, but spilled it.
  • Put toys in my water.
  • Dumped out the dog's water and put the bowl on her head, more than once.
  • Spit water on the table and the floor, multiple times.
  • Painted her hands.
  • Found a marker and put it on her lips like lip gloss.
  • Pulls the chair up to the cabinet and opens the silverware drawer.
  • Emptied the cabinet with Tupperware.
  • Shut herself in the pantry, countless times.
  • Grabbed handfuls of food from the pantry.

  1. I feel you on this one. I used to have so many hobbies, and there are so many things I would like to do (learn to play the guitar/piano, keep a garden alive, write), but by the time I get the kids down and have some time to myself, I'm too pooped to do anything constructive.
    My fear is that when I do have the time, I will wonder how my little tornados became so independant too fast.
