mischief maker, food taker

I've written before about the scrapes Princess Firecracker gets herself into. Today, thankfully, there was no actual bodily harm or huge inconvenience. But still.

These are finger holes where she poked at the banana, trying to get to the inside.


This is the jar of pickles I found her eating out of. 


When I screwed the lid onto the jar, she then stole the pickles straight out of the not-yet-served sandwiches, hers and her sister's.  She tried to cover up her work by putting the bread back on.


I then discovered that she had tried to take a bite of a cheese, wrapper still on.


That's just today.  There was also the time she ate Jiushu's chicken nuggets which I had so carefully cut up into tiny pieces for him.  And his peaches.  And his oatmeal, left on the table.  Three entirely distinct events, mind you.  And the time she stuck her hand into my coffee, and tasted it too, and it was NOT kid-friendly coffee. 

She's keeping me on my toes, this one.

Laughing right now- wish I knew firecracker personally... maybe her nap wasn't quite as good as you thought...

My Emma has always been like that. And btw, aren't those cheese wedges SOO GOOD?!?

I'm commenting on my own post! Felt like I should clarify that by "NOT kid-friendly coffee" I do not mean there was liquor added to it, just that it wasn't sweet and creamy! ;o)

She will surely keep you on your toes! :) Our little Kaden ((2)) is doing just about the same things. Oiy. :) He's my little buddy. I keep him with me all the time...cause he's a stinker. ;)

After two years, that's STILL Rory. If there is something not to touch, she touches it. Something not to eat, she's eating it. Something you never thought of telling anyone not to do (even after two years)...there she is. I need to post pictures of our old barstools, which say, in Sharpie "Royr" and "Wytt." And note that even then, Wyatt knew how to spell both of their names.

Oh, Jerusha, God's grace be with you each day as you love and train your sweet firecrakcer!!! The previous post commented about her child. . " Something you never thought of telling anyone not to do..." That reminds me of Jacob. When he was 3, Sean said, "I never thought I would have to say to my son, "Son, don't lick the bottom of your shoe!" And, not to discourage you, but he is 12, and is still a food thief, taking food from his sisters because he was "sure they didn't want it!!" Still working on that one!!
