Two and a Half
We've done this before.
Carina has a wonderful habit of getting into things she shouldn't. And I do try to remember to reprimand her, and to lock things up better. Our medicines live in a giant toolbox with a 5digit password lock. But, the makeup, well, that's another story. Since I use it everyday, locking it up is a major pain. So I kept moving my makeup bag further and further away on the counter. Carina can reach it now no problem.
Two days ago she got into my lipstick that I have zipped into the diaper bag. So I went through my purses and the rest of the diaper bag and made sure there weren't any other tubes hanging out there that she may find.
Today however, she just went all out for the makeup bag. I was sorting laundry and turning socks right side out in the basement, and she was watching Dora. (yeah, looking back of COURSE I shouldn't have left her that way for even 2 minutes, but I did. And it was more like 10 minutes because I have to turn EVERY SINGLE PIECE of kids laundry right side out. {grr})
So she came down with red hands covered in nail polish, moisturizer, and toothpaste. And mascara on her eye. And nail polish, moisturizer, mascara and toothpaste all over her carpet and one wall in her room.
This year, I just took a picture, cleaned her up, threw away her shirt (covered in nail polish) and went to work cleaning - thank goodness for Magic Erasers and nail polish remover. I think I have mellowed over the years. When Laney did similar things when she was two and a half, I think I freaked more. And way back when Mia did things like this? I must've been a monster. That, or completely oblivious to it all having a newborn at the same time.
So in order to document the mayhem, here's a pic of Carina in her best attempt at full evening-out makeup and before the tears that accompanied the throwing away of her shirt and Mommy's stern words. I'm just really really glad we didn't install new carpet yet, and I'm getting really nervous about the couch we just bought...
