Never Underestimate A Two Year Old

I think Trenton, who is now 7, snuck Caitlyn some sugar yesterday, because she was one wild cat!

It all began when Trenton went and got my fingernail polish that he got me for mothers day and asked me if I wanted to paint my nails, and of course I did. However, now that I have a little girl, she wants her little nails painted too. So I painted hers first with the color that she got me for mothers day, and I finished, put the top back on the bottle (tightly, I might add), and handed her the bottle to play with (like I always do). I thought, there is no way she can open the bottle by herself....WRONG....WRONG.....WRONG.....I was painting my toes, and this is as far as I got....

when little Miss Caitlyn shoved her little finger in my face, showing me that she had painted her nail, all by herself. Yes, people...she opened the bottle, all by her little self. So I quickly glanced around for bottle of fingernail polish that she had, when I seen it spilled all over our brand new couch. I immediately jumped into action, picking up the bottle, and grabbing her baby wipes to clean up the mess. Unbeknownst she is behind me pulling the wipes one by one out of the container and throwing them all over the living room floor. I then grabbed the wipes away from her, and continued to try and get the purple stain out of my brand new couch, while Trenton goes and gets the Clorox wipes. I told him I didn't need the Clorox wipes to take them back, but do you think he listened? NOPE.... He gave them to Caitlyn, who decided that she would try and pull all of them out too, except for one little problem....She got her hand stuck in the bottle. SOOO.... I had to pry her hand out of that, while wading in baby wipes, and trying to clean up the big purple blob on the couch, that wasn't coming out!
I decided to ask my sister if she knew how to get fingernail polish out of a couch, so she said ''shaving cream''....well it just so happens.... I have shaving cream! I run to the bathroom grab a can, and squirt some on the couch and start scrubbing, and I am really going at it, and I reach around to grab some more.... but guess who has it? None other than Miss Caitlyn, who surprise, surprise, is squirting it all over my other couch! I snatch it from her, clean it up, and take it straight back to my bathroom out of her little exploring hands. And when I come back into the living room, she has the VHS tapes out, unwrapping them like Christmas presents!

So... the lesson is.... NEVER, under any circumstance, underestimate a two year old!
