Proof!

Ok. Some of you know the challenges I have faced raising a certain "busy" child of mine. This post is to to display some examples of the messes and mind-of-her-own activities McKenna has been pursuing for the past 2 years of her life. Granted she's only 3, but I'm certain that her first year of life was her creative thinking phase. I'm not trying to complain or nothing (today at least), but I can exponentially tell you that I have the strongest-willed,  most mischievous little three-year old ever created.  I have turned in to her shadow because I end up having to follow her around throughout the day to try and thwart some misbehavior.  You may think I'm exaggerating, overprotective, or even too soft on the discipline.  I assure you. This is not the case.  After 3 kids before McKenna,  I get it that three-year-olds are challenging. All I'm saying is that this one is REALLY challenging!
 One cup of pudding + turning your back for 2 min. = HOLY MESS!

Notice the pajamas? Little stinker woke up before everyone else to get in the fridge and start eating the leftover cake in the fridge she remembered from the night before!


"I'm washing my feet with all the soap, mommy!"  Really ALL the soap.
  
Since McKenna is a "runner" I was so happy to finally live in a place with a tall privacy fence...Guess we need barbed wire too?  Another thing, McKenna is NOT shy.  She was always yelling at neighbors and passerbys since we lived on a corner lot.  I see a future as an announcer or broadcaster some day?!


I don't know...There's really no explanation to why she stripped off her clothes and climbed up to the top of her dresser.


Oh this...happened more than once. She was always finding some desitin.


Comparitively speaking,  this is nothing.  Little girls always paint their nails, right? But have they used marker, polish, toothpaste, white-out, elmer's glue,  or lipstick?

If you give a girl a spoonful of peanut butter...than she'll give herself a facial!

Another WHY?  Why did you empty all the crayons out of the container and instead pee in it?

"Mommy, can I get a toy for my bath?"  "Sure."
I guess in her mind  books count.

This is the classic case of mommy tells McKenna to not get outside of the yard.  A few seconds later I turn to see McKenna on the outside of the fence, but she quickly scrambles to get back in and gets her head stuck!  Of course like any good mommy I took my time to run inside  to get the camera. I knew she wasn't going anywhere!

And finallly.  This just goes to show, McKenna is "busy" even in her sleep.  Evidently she still gets plenty of rest because she's fully charged by the next day.
I hope you all were amused.  I swear I love McKenna to pieces.  She has an amazing personality. I'll blog in the upcoming days with some cutie-patootie pics. It's just too late tonight.
