So apparently my babywrangling skills need a little work ...
This would be a good time to dig into the fetish catalog and wear something all latex if there's going to be a lot of soup flinging.
Mal: Take your people and go. Captain: You would have done the same. Mal: We can already see I haven't.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Because books.
Sadly, there are no baby-wrangling skills anywhere that compete with a toddler entranced with messes. They make 'em, we just get to clean 'em up.

Yep, time to dig out the PVC governess uniform. Thankfully, I had managed to remove the cup with the last of the soup about a minute before she decided to flip her tray on the floor. She looked so happy when she did that, too.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

A-Fucking-Men.
Em emptied the lower shelf of the bookcase yesterday while I was in another room. She came and got me, took me over to the pile, and said, UH-OH! Mess! Mess, Mommy!"
I told her to put the books back. She did three.
I wonder if she piled them there because that's her time-out spot.....?
(PS. I can't believe I'm a time-out parent. I always swore I wouldn't be. Buy hey - they work.)

Why? Did you plan on using a cat o' nine tails?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

She thought that by the time she had kids they would have invented baby-wrangling robots.

No. I planned on having a perfect, mischief-free child.

They're always so proud of their messes, too. "I did dat!" Um, yay.
Sara imitates me perfectly. Sometimes she walks into the living room, surveys the battlefield of Mr. Potato Head and Little People parts, and shakes her head sadly: "What a mess."

Planning may not be your forte.
