In Veda's defense, i was very tied up cleaning out her baby sisters' closet. She just had WAY too much time on her hands! She has just recently learned how to open the refrigerator door and it has become somewhat of an obsession for the past few days. Most of the time, i catch her with her fingers in the jello. Fortunately, the jello was made especially for her, so i just let her grab a handfull and stick it in her mouth. It is just one of those battles where i choose not to fight. Raise the white flag and let her have her way. I mean, a handfull of jello wont ruin her apetite for real meals. She also has an obsession with chocolate milk. At a minimum, she asks for it about 10 times each day. I have tried to limit it for after-meal treats, in hopes that i can convince her to eat more. But today, she apparently wasn't taking no for an answer.
So, after being in the closet for about 10 minutes, i realized it was eerily quiet in my house. I walk slowly into the kitchen, already assuming the worst. I was able to snap this picture before she turned around with a guilty look on her face continuing to squirt chocolate EVERYWHERE! Ill admit, it was hard not to laugh...i should haved known better. I calmly walked her back to her room and closed the door for a timeout. Fortunately the babies were playing quietly on their mats, so i got to cleaning the floor that i JUST CLEANED YESTERDAY!! Once i was done, i went to let veda out of her room, only to find that she had taken every single piece of clothing out of her dresser after i had just cleaned it out and reorganized it! She was now wearing a pair of leggings instead of the jeans i had put her in (i suppose chocolate covered denim was not the fashion statement she was going for). I reminded myself to breathe, opened the door and sent her on her way and then began to organize all of her clothes...again.
After all of this excitement, there were only 2 words that could make everything all better...
NAP TIME!!!
