Seriously.? I need a break.? The tiny terror is in her crib wailing “Appppppplllleeeee Juuuuuiiiicccce” which I don’t dare give her right now because who knows what weapon of mass destruction it would be in her hands.? I have lost count of Tori messes I have cleaned up today.? Toothpaste all over her, brushing with Daddy’s toothbrush, throwing several loads of nicely laundered and laid out clothes in a heap on the ground, opening my dishwasher in the middle of the cycle and distributing half washed contents in various places in the house, emptying all the flushable toilet wipes in the house, going through my makeup wipes, distributing large amounts of an unknown fluid all over the bathroom floor, using soap all over the bathroom floor (that was actually last night before bed)…it never ends.? If I lose track of her for a few minutes you can bet she is up to no good.? Brooke was counseling me on the phone today as a mother of a like minded child and she said I would save my sanity with some “room” time.? I gotta try something.? This is sheer craziness.? She causes more trouble in one afternoon than both my boys ever have.<\/p>\n

My friend Ali was over last week with her two kids.? Kade, who is about 5 months older than Tori and twice her size cracked me up when he came to tattle on her and said “Turkey took my gun!”? In the first place, I am sure the name mix up was a Freudian slip.? One I wholeheartedly can appreciate.? Secondly, she really had a lot of nerve taking Kade on to begin with.<\/p>\n

When you ask her old she is do you know what she has been telling us?? Ten.? Is it ironic or strategic that she has placed herself one year ahead of Tanner?? We have been talking about Tanner’s 9th birthday a lot lately (it’s Saturday) so I have to wonder if she intentionally is keeping herself a step ahead of her brothers.<\/p>\n

She loves to be the mommy and imitates my tone quite well.? We have heard a lot of “Ty!? NOW!” and “Ty!? NICE!”? and “Ty!? NUFF’? Sometimes she inserts Tanner’s name as well or just says “GUYS!”<\/p>\n

Ty taught her to say “Dad gummit!” and she has been exercising that often to.? Usually followed up with a growl.? :)?? I caught her singing “Five little monkeys” in her bed the other night.? First she started jumping then she sang “One.? Monkey.? Jump.? Bed.”?? A couple of nights ago she went to bed crying for “one monkey” and I thought she wanted me to sing but quickly realized she was being literal.? She wanted George in bed with her.? George is technically Ty’s monkey but Tori has shanghaied it.<\/p>\n

Let’s see what other trouble has she caused?? Oh yes.? The bathtub incident.? I heard water running and went to investigate.? She was stripped naked, in the tub, and running her own bath.? SCARY!? I always worried that a kid would get it in their head to try that.? I think I need to buy the pull plugs and keep them out of reach.<\/p>\n

The potty training is a big fat pain.? For the most part, she has done very well with it.? I have only had a couple of number 2 incidents in the last week.? Not bad.? BUT, I HATE her being in the bathroom because she causes too much trouble in there.?? Then when we go out anywhere, she always has to go potty several times because she just wants to check out the bathroom and exercise her new independence.<\/p>\n

It’s been a long day…<\/p>\n
