olive is the busiest busy bottom in the whole wide world

oh olive, what am i going to do with you?
she wiped toothpaste on the wall
took the ring out from under the microwave plate and put it around her waist
pushed a chair up to the counter and ate a bit of noah's adoption celebration cake (pictured)
emptied the shredded parmesan all of the kitchen
emptied the feta cheese all over the inside of the refrigerator
she whines for me to hold her everytime she hears eleanor needing me
she clogged the toilet with a roll of toilet paper

and these were all within a day of each other
other than the whining, that's everyday
i was thinking i need a refrigerator lock but then i realized
i also need an oven lock, toilet lock, microwave lock
and a freezer lock
so what's the point
then i thought maybe i need baby gates all over
but lets face it, she'd climb them in a second

and this is all in addition to her being really opinionated
not caring if i say no
screaming if i try to stop her from doing anything she wants

seriously, terrible twos have never 
felt so....terrible 

like michael and i always say
good thing she is so cute!

ROFL - Yes she is really cute. A friend of mine that has a strong willed child has a saying. She is destined for great things. Keep saying that to yourself.

Being cute saves children. I had some busy ones like that.

I feel like Olive and Ellie would get along really well
