Don't turn your back on a three year old - part II

Well, my three year old is giving me more than enough material to keep this blog updated daily! Let me fill you in since the last sprinkles story... because it continues! In the quest for another shower the other day (silly me, I should have known better) Isaiah, whom I thought was sound asleep facing the wall, but was really just faking it, decided that it was worth another try with the sprinkles. This time he decides to shake them all over his train table. On it I had his "Little People" set up. There is one piece with a circus scene with a carousel and "tea cups" ride. Isaiah dumped some sprinkles down in the seats and proceeded to shake water out of his not-so -spillproof cup onto the sprinkles creating a very sticky mess. I didn't even begin to tackle this one until the next day. Then yesterday, while I was trying to get some very important design work done before we go out of town, Gabriel was asleep and Isaiah was ready to move on from sprinkles. Yes, this time he chose waterproof mascara. Ladies, this stuff should be required to be kept in the medecine cabinet with a childproof lid. Isaiah first covered his face with it, eyebrows, lips and even teeth. Then he decided that he wanted his Spiderman sheets to have the black Spiderman instead of the red Spiderman, so three of the faces were painted black, along with some of the wall that got in his way. So, unable to hold in a chuckle, I was completely ineffective in my discipline. So much so that I wouldn't put it past him doing it again.
Just barely holding on,
Kit

Sooooo, now you are casting off not only showers, but makeup too! Isaiah certainly has a flair for the dramatic - and seems to be a fantastic actor - he must get that from his aunts!
