Earlier this week, I was having one of those absolutely-must-get-100-things-done kind of days. When I am busy I can usually figure out what Eden is doing because I can hear her playing. When things get quiet, of course, I go investigate. One time, I could hear that she had gone upstairs. I went up after her, calling her name, and found her baby-Frankenstien-running out of Grace and Grant's room with a pair of shorts in hand and squeals of delight. She had emptied out two clothing drawers that had been in reach in no less than 20 seconds. Sometimes, I have the audacity to take my shower when she is awake. Our bathroom is open to the master, so when I close her in the room with me and jump in the shower, she has free reign over my drawers, the bathroom cabinets, and the walk in closet. It is no good.
On the day in question this week, I was in the finishing stages of completing a project. I needed just 3 small, uninterrupted minutes to hammer out the roll my brain was on. I could hear the sounds of Eden doing her messy Eden things. I let her, so I could finish. When I was done I grabbed our point and shoot, found her in the bathroom, and let her take me on a tour of what she had been busy doing. I didn't get to take pictures of the hall, nor of the kitchen floor, nor of the couscous that she spilled all over the pantry. She had run upstairs by this point and I decided to stop what I was doing to give her some attention. Where is Grace when I need her? She is the best babysitter/ Eden finder we've got around here.
I know she isn't trying to be mischievous. And she isn't making messes just to make them. She is curious, like all babies are, and she isn't lazy about it. I just don't remember the other two being this destructive... Help me Rhonda!

She's adorable! Mason has been doing the same thing with the toilet paper. Love and loves to pull on it!
Oh, so cute! And remember this too shall pass (all too quickly, I might add)
Love you all so much!

I am so glad to see that your sweet little angel is not always an angel. Well, maybe still an angel, but also a trouble maker. She always seems so calm and sweet! It's good to hear that she is a typical toddler too!
I thought I was reading my own blog post on this one, just with a different name. I'm glad you were able to finish what you were working so hard on.
Haha, she's so cute! Cynthia just got into this hyper-destructive stage, too. My whole side of the bathroom cabinet is a disaster, because I let her play in there while I try to get ready. Daniel can't believe that I let her keep at it when I find her, but sometimes it is just too worth the 10 minutes of free time it gives me.
