We have come to refer to Katie simply as The Destroyer in our household.Her ability to decimate a room single-handily is unreal, and at times -- legendary.
Apparently, The Destroyer 2 (the sequel) is going to be appearing in our -- and perhaps in your -- household very soon.
Madeleine empties out the play kitchen shelves multiple times a day, and today she began pulling books off the bookshelf, for what appeared to be sheer sport.
Now, I remember Katie exhibiting similar behavior, but it didn't seem as bad and I just figured out why. Our house was set up different then. I didn't have anything down low for her to well -- destroy.
I didn't put books on the bottom bookshelf until Katie was old enough to want to pick her own books to peruse. We didn't get the play kitchen until Katie was 2-years old. And, we didn't have toys that consisted of 4,000 miniature pieces when Katie was 8-months old.
It is so different when you have that second child.
I'm thinking about putting a child lock on that blasted play kitchen door -- would that be bad?
