Thursday Thirteen – nothing is safe!

Thirteen forbidden items that the little guy “discovered”
while exploring the countertops & drawers yesterday:
adventures

  1. My brand-new bottle of purple nail polish.
  2. A whole box of plastic wrap, which he proceeded to unwrap while whispering “wow, wow mama”.
  3. All our return address stickers, which are now decorating my kitchen cabinets and countertops.
  4. A once-full bottle of Mrs. Dash, seen in the photo, now spicing up my cabinets.
  5. The small ironing board, which was promptly launched off the top of the cabinets to his great delight.
  6. My purse and all its contents, which were taken to the far reaches of my house with great delight.
  7. A container of A&D diaper ointment, which is apparently great fun to open and smear all over yourself and your surroundings, at least if you are a baby.
  8. Every single item in my silverware drawer (the sharp objects have been residing on top of my fridge for some time now), which must be arranged into categories, then dumped all over the floor.
  9. All the pens, pencils, and markers that were on a high shelf over the countertops – they were used to “decorate” every item inside my purse as well as any and all receipts and bills that happened to be on said counter.
  10. Daddy’s work ties, abandoned on the counter as well, which are great for trying on (though he did look cute….).
  11. The lone candle that still exists in our house – apparently it needed to be shredded with baby fingernails, as wax is such a pleasant fingernail cleanser….
  12. The forgotten chocolate bar in the drawer…. no longer forgotten.
  13. The hanging lights over my breakfast bar – they offer a satisfying amount of motion when swatted by a curious arm, and continue to do so even after I hear “hot, mama, hot” – I’d think once would be enough to learn that lesson…..

    Oh, the joys of motherhood and being a curious child. *hehehe* My girls are all grown up now and these are things you’ll laugh about or at least remember with a smile. Thanks for your visit. Have a wonderful day…

  2. BecK says:

    These were great!
    Takes me back to when my son was a toddler and in to EVERYTHING!

  3. Lisa says:

    Aren’t little boys wonderful? Mone never found the nail polish (YET) but he has managed to find a wonderful amount of off limit things. He painted himself green from head to toe once!

    Thanks for stopping by my TT!

  4. LOL did my daughter manage to make her way to your house and disguise herself as your little one ? :)

  5. craziequeen says:

    [roars with laughter]

    excellent! Nice healthy sense of adventure!

    cq

    My TT is up……

  6. Christina says:

    Kids can be so michievous…but so darn cute!

    My t13 is up :)

  7. trish says:

    Awww.. they’re so cute when they get into everything, aren’t they? I remember one time my guy (a loooong time ago – he’s 16 now) took everything that was on any flat surface in the living room and tossed it off the balcony, including an autographed baseball, photographs in frames, and more than 200 books from the bookshelves.. and he did it so quickly!!

    Thanks for visiting my TT!

  8. Les says:

    Oh aren’t they fun when the get into stuff like that!!! I still have memory marks from the dd!!! Happy TT!!

  9. eph2810 says:

    Oh my, your little duck is sure adventurous…But they do get into everything at that age. I was blessed that ours really never wanted to get dirty :smile: .

  10. Lady Jane says:

    Sounds like he was busy! Have fun with the clean up. :)

  11. That is a great list and I am relating to your situation totally. Justice is getting so, so mobile now and nothing is sacred. He has just recently learned to open drawers and cabinets. I intend on getting those hook things on them this weekend. I know he will figure out how to bypass them, but I gotta try. They really know how to find whatever they aren’t supposed to get to. It is so amazing! Thanks for stopping by today!

  12. dawn says:

    yikes! I have to admit I would have lost it after the first mishap.

  13. Kailani says:

    Boy, sounds like he had a grand ‘ole time! I feel sorry for the person who had to clean up that mess!

  14. Wow!!! he really has been busy… My little ones are as bad… They always want to play with the kitchen stuff, tho’ they have so many toys. I have decided not to buy any more lipstick,nailpolish, makeup of any kind… till I can find childproof stuff!!! All are ruined… they love going thru my purse… the list is endless…

  15. Nancy says:

    That was all in one day?? I am so lucky my kids did not do this kind of thing…..

    He is cute!! He must make you laugh at his crazy antics.

  16. Ocean says:

    OMG ~ he reminds me of my son! The adventurer and climber!!! My son has been dumping out the silverware alot. And on constant quests finding things. My son knows how to climb up to the top of the frig. Major climber. We have to put the knives and scissors in a tin that he cannot open in a high cabinet tucked in the back. He figured out how to open the safety latches on the cupboards because he was watching us ~ calculating…. always calculating! I’m here with ya! :@

  17. kristarella says:

    Wow wow! That’s alot of crazness for one day!
    In hind sight, any tips on how to prevent that when I have little ones that age?
