Trying to make a go of it.

So I've officially started selling bows..I haven't sold any yet, but i set up my esty account. It's at the beginning stages, so I'm still trying to figure out how everything works. Anyway, I want you all to look at it and let me know what you think. I want you to be critical, because I want to do the best I can. here's the link:

Slow down there Callie

This week I have been amazed at the cleverness of my toddler Callie. First, she learned how to open the frig door. No messes yet, and she actually things it is more important to keep the frig not only closed but locked. About a year ago we had a child lock put on it because the door would open whenever we slammed shut the freezer, and lately, Callie will see it unlocked and drag her chair in the kitchen so she can reach and lock it. I did find a empty milk jug in the frig once. She had taken it from the recycling and put it back in the frig.

Second, she managed to take apart the shelving of our book shelf where most of her toys are stored. I wonder when I'll find that missing hardware piece.

Third, she can now unscrew her sippy cups. She usually won't do this until she's done drinking it, but she can also unscrew water bottle caps, which usually ends in a spill.

Fourth, she can turn round knobs! Callie smelled like Mint extract for a whole day. I promptly put a child proof door knob cover on the pantry door.

Fifth, she can snap open shampoo bottles. This newly learned skill was discovered by us this weekend at the hotel when we found her laying in the bath tub inches full of shampoo. She was fully clothed and extremely clean after we finally got all the suds washed away. It was a whole bottle of shampoo. I threw away the empty bottle at the hotel. And of course this all happened minutes before we were to leave for a family birthday party. We were late.

She's so clever. I wonder what she'll scare me with next. And I keep forgetting that her little sister will very soon be a side kick in her clever adventures.
