Sleepy Time=Sneaky Time

Faith doesn't do naps...well...sometimes she does. Let's just put it this way: Faith does naps when she wants to do naps. Some days, she talks to herself for the duration of nap time, never falling to sleep. On other days, she screams and cries until you come and get her...HOWEVER LONG IT TAKES. Then, there are those days that she falls asleep like a good little girl.  Well, on this particular day, she wasn't doing ANY of the above....

MISCHIEF...that is what Faith was up to on this particular day. I was at work and Granny B had routinely put the kiddos to bed for their naps. After some time, there was noise coming from Faith's room. The kind of noise that let's you know that someone is trying to do something sneaky from inside.  Granny B was shocked at what she found when she opened the door (although, at this point, I am not sure why she would be surprised by anything).


Let me explain. These are words hanging on Faith's wall.  At one point, there were cute little butterflies surrounding these words. You can see the tacks in which the butterflies were hanging. To get to one of these words, Faith had to stand on her bed. Okay, not a BIG shock. To get to the other word, however, Faith had to climb the changing table and stand on the top shelf....and this is exactly where Granny B found Faith....standing on the top shelf of the changing table.  Butterflies were scattered all over the room. Diapers and lotions were everywhere!

Needless to say, we've had to threaten to put Faith back in a crib if she does something like this again. The look on her face after she was told this was priceless....she hasn't tried this trick again. PROOF that these almost two-year-olds know EXACTLY what you say and EXACTLY what you mean.
