It's been an interesting day today! I called my Mother-in-law and said I've changed my mind--you can have her! (It's a running joke since our breastfed first daughter didn't stay the weekend with Nanny at 3 weeks old like her cousin did---she used to ask all the time but finally knows better now!) Here's the scoop from our afternoon with 2 yo DD:
-she "napped" for only 30 min. (nursed but awoke every time I tried to get up) and this is after sleeping only from 2 am-9am
-got red stamp pad all over her hands and pants so I sent her to wash up
-played in the sink while washing--or so I thought! She plugged the sink and had the water on full blast--we had standing water on the kitchen floor as it gushed over the sides of the sink and down underneath! (Darn that last 2 chapters of Stuart Little that I was so excited to finish with older DD!)
-while I cleaned up the gallons of water (she "helped" briefly), she went in the other room and dumped out 2 bottles of fish food all over the floor
-she helped me clean up the fish food but must have had too much fun because when I was putting supper away she found them and dumped them again!
Calgon take me away!
aka: This too shall pass! Trying to

It sounds, though, like you're able to see it for what it is...very age appropriate and a phase that will pass.
), that capturing the "incidents" on camera (as well as a shot of the child saying, "Who, me?" with her wide, innocent eyes) would make a really cute scrapbook page!
