Do all three year olds dump stuff out just because?
Do all three year olds explore and experiment?
Do all three year olds go on wild adventures and make their parents crazy in the mean time?
Do all three year olds get into stuff just to get into stuff?
And if so, when does it end?
Charlie has had one of those weeks.
1-She has shaved her chin with Dusty's razor. She learned that she didn't like after shave.
2-She used color stay lipstick as eye shadow (a week later it is still a slight pink after 6 showers and many scrubs).
3-She used body powder and water to make "pancake mix" and proceeded to bake them on the carpet in my bedroom at her picnic.
4-She planted apple seeds (small bits of eaten apple) all over her room b/c she wanted to see if they would grow.
5-She unrolled 3 rolls of toilet paper into a pile on the floor in front of the "dragon" toilet.
6-She flavored her popcorn with lotion.
7-She colored with red marker on my coffee table to give it a sun burn and then covered it with green goo (that's what we call the green goop of Aleo vera gel for sunburns).
8-She hit her brother on the head with a pampered chef pastry tool b/c she wanted to turn him into a frog.
9-She covered the kitchen floor with ice to make a winter wonderland for the penguin. We didn't find it until 25 pieces of ice had halfway melted.
10-She dumped a bag of magnet letters on the floor in the laundry room, climbed in a laundry basket and used 4 fly swatters as oars to try and rescue her letters that has gotten lost in the ocean.
11-She screamed for any where from two to three hours at bedtime that she wasn't tired and therefore didn't need to go to bed right now.
At what point does she grow out of this tiring behavior? Just lie to me if she doesn't. I know that she is a very creative child and that is so wonderful but really at the moment I am just really TIRED.

Oh goodness, how frustrating for you!
How WONDERFUL for Charlie to have such a beautiful imagination - I just LOVE it.
We'll just pray that Brantly will be the one who tells her that she shouldn't do that instead of being her faithful helper;) But what a shame if he isn't:)

It ends at exactly 4 years and 6.5 months. HA! But wow. Neither of my older kids did that much "creativity" at age 3. My favorite was the magnet letters that needed rescuing.
Ooh, I have an idea. Do you think maybe she needs a friend? Like perhaps at the friend's house? Hee hee...
