Terrrrrrrrrible Twos

Dawson, boy you are into EVERYTHING.  I know that your little brain is programmed right now to explore, manipulate and discover how things work.  It is becoming more difficult with each day to keep you safe and my house out of disaster zone and hopefully in the semi-acceptable range.  Here are a couple of examples:

• Today we made gingerbread cookies.  Everyone was standing at the island in the kitchen and I was gathering the ingredients.  I set down the eggs and milk {far away from you, nonetheless} and turned around to grab the flour.  Ten seconds later you had moved your chair and cracked an egg onto the counter.
• Also during the gingerbread fiasco, I was helping Carter stir his batter and you had grabbed Ava's batter and pushed it onto the floor.  Luckily it landed batter side up, so we were ok.
• You love to play in the bathroom sink.  I don't mind you playing in the water, but I'd like to supervise to make sure to contain the mess and make sure you won't destroy anything.  
• You love playing with the blue ray player, electrical outlets and DVD's.  I swear as soon as I go to the restroom you make a beeline for these off-limit desirables.  
• The three of you were sitting around the table water coloring and I turned around for a second and you are drinking the paint water.  YUM!

Dawson, sweetie, these are just the crazy things you did TODAY!  I swear I'm getting too old for this!
