"I Solemnly Swear I am Up to No Good!"

Emily is obviously our hot topic this week, as she is all about being an independent two year old. After being home with her most of the day on Saturday Daniel stated, “She is into everything today.” Morgan’s most recent line when she has something to tell a person is “I’m sorry to say, but . . .” That’s what came to mind when Daniel said this, of course. I’m sorry to say, but she’s like this most other days as well. Regardless, Saturday ended with her having been in her big sister’s jewelry, mom’s chap stick, and Taylor’s Desitin. I was suitably impressed, however, that the Desitin did go on the appropriate spot on the bunny’s bum. However, I was less impressed with the quantity on the carpet and the wall. We’ll see how well it washes out!

Sunday brought a new caper, of course. Today it was lipstick, as depicted in the picture. The funniest thing about it was when she saw her own face in the mirror. She was as proud as could be just moments before, but when we got in the bathroom she was open-mouth, horrified. She looked as if she would cry – I think she thought the “baby” in the mirror was bleeding from a nasty neck wound – and she would probably have proceeded with her melt down, but I couldn’t help laughing out loud at her expression. Now she’s cleaned up and in bed, we’ll look for a solution for getting lip stick out of her church clothes tomorrow. So for now, the line from Harry Potter comes to mind, “mischief managed!”
