Battles Not Worth Picking

Oh, last week was long!  My 2 year old is pulling out all the stops and making her momma RUN!!!  Here's a few pictures along with some descriptions that talk about last week.

 

 

Courtney has strategically placed the stool by the fridge.  I have found her happily rummaging through the fridge as well. In this particular instance I managed to intercept in time.  She uses the same stool to raid the pantry at 5 am.

 

 

Next we have Eric doing his school work with a bag of crayons on his head.  I don't ask questions anymore.  He was doing his work so I don't care.  Oh, and he's not suffocating either.  This is called, 'Pick your battles,' and clearly this isn't one.

 

Back to the 2 year old....She found her wipes and proceeded to pull EVERY wipe out of the package.  Then she made beds for each of her people.  This picture was taken when she started the procedure.  I did not take a picture of the end result.  Again, 'pick your battle' comes into play here.  She was not endangering herself or plugging a toilet or depleting our food reserves or killing the dog or wrecking my lap top.  I can handle wipes being all over my living room floor.  I even salvaged most of them again for re-use!

Sigh...the 2 year old again.  One of my daily school tasks is to pry wedged, broken crayons out of the kids' pencil sharpener.  This is just photographic proof of the OBVIOUS culprit.  Maybe I should give her a bag of wipes....

 

 

And here's the 2 year old going through my medicine cabinet.  There's nothing horrifically dangerous in there.  This is just proof that the kid can climb to any height to get whatever she desires.  Oh, and I think she's picking her nose in this picture too.  She 'picks' up the most enchanting habits.

 

This next picture does not involve the 2 year old.  When 2 kids are bored they find the lids from the large totes and slide down the stairs.  Once again, that's fine with me.  This is not a battle I'm going to pick.  

And for now, that's about it.
