"We have a big problem..."
I sat in silence. "No one is injured or anything... but, apparently she pooped during nap...and then removed her diaper." Someday I knew I'd get a call like this. I had high hopes it would be about a young baby, contained to a crib, so that the "damage" would be minimal. That was not the case. My 2 and a half year old has finally driven me to the edge and yesterday, she made the choice to...let's say "decorate" her whole room. The rug: trash. The chair: trash. Several books: trash. A few toys: trash. And many, many loads of laundry were needed. Tomorrow we are getting all new carpet. It was the only choice that would allow me to sleep at night. And speaking of sleeping at night- she moved into her brother's room while this is getting sorted out, and he has moved in with us. Thank goodness for bleach...lots of bleach... and next day carpet installation. We will never again forget to put her zipper pjs on backwards.

This is one of those stories that you’ll get to tell her when she’s grown and you’ll laugh. However it is not funny yet!
