Creatively Destructive

My "Creatively Destructive" daughter has struck again. This would not be the first time this week. A couple days ago she got into her sister's make-up bag and squeezed out the toothpaste onto the carpet. There was also a bottle of lotion laying on the bottom bunk, still dripping lotion down the mattress and onto the floor, close to the toothpaste. She twisted her sister's chapstick all the way up and broke it off, and did something similar to her deodorant. The lids were off the other bottles of shampoo and such. Earlier that day she took a RED crayon and drew a square, triangle and circle on our newly painted bedroom door.

Today she found a marker, in one of the gazillion unpacked boxes, and wrote all over the magnets on the fridge as well as the fridge itself!! You couldn't see the marker on the fridge except at certain angles, but when you opened the door, the marker came off on your hand.

She has the curiosity of a cat and an attitude of a hormonal teenager! She will be FIVE in 12 days!

The other night I asked her if she would remove her toys from the little pool so I could dump the water out. She looked at me and tilted her head to the side and replied, "If you pay me a dollar"!! Sweet Niblets! What's she going to be like when she IS a hormonal teenager??

The good thing is that she saves most of her ornery behavior for her parents! Her preschool and Sunday School teachers tell me she is actually very quiet in class, she follows directions and is a joy to have in class! Thank God!
