Here Comes a Tornado

Here are a few of Mary's antics:

-throwing everything from a shelf of the pantry on the floor

-breaking a mason jar in the process (an empty one, gratefully)

-carrying a full jar of honey into the living room (gratefully again, she was unable to get the lid off)

-emptying all her drawers every time the bathroom door is left open

-dipping her clothes that she gets from her drawers (which are in the bathroom) in the toilet

-emptying out the drawers of the kitchen too many times to count

-climbing onto the table

-pushing a chair to the cupboard to reach something she wants

-falling into the tub while I'm showering (twice!)

-turning on the phone on unbeknownst to me so no one can call for an entire night (this when Dennis was camping with the boys and needed to call!)

I told my kids that Mary needs a t-shirt that says, "Here comes Trouble!" Camille thought it was a great idea! (Could it be that she needed a similar shirt when she was a similar age to Mary? Camille's exploits include dumping a bottle of shampoo on the carpet, dumping out spices and throwing her plate full of food at the wall--and that was all in one day--and I'm not kidding!) (Dennis thinks the shirt should say "Here comes terror".)

But it is so endearing when Mary says, "Mom, mom, mom, mom, mom." Those are her only words so far (except for her darling and constant chatter). And she cuddles like no other. How I love this sweet little one!
