Oh Bother...

My little Chloe is kind of turning into a busy monster. I have always know she thinks she is a big kid (think 1 going on 7) but I didn't realize that those terrible two's would come a year early. Most would say, Chloe is so cute and she is such a happy baby. I couldn't agree MORE. The thing is she is SOO busy. She is constantly getting into things she knows she shouldn't,90% of my day is running around chasing her or putting away the messes she got out.

She doesn't listen to the word "NO!" she just looks at me smiles and does it anyway...then I remove her from the situation and she will walk right back, stare at me and do it again...with a huge smirk (not smile...smirk) on her face. Let's just say my patience has been tried a few times this week.

The tantrums this little babe is starting to throw...well let's just say, when she wants something and doesn't get her way she arches her back, kicks her feet and screams...I have just learned to walk away and tell her I don't like it when she does that...what else can I do? Eventually she will come over to me and play but really? Tantrums at age 1? Ugh.

Honestly, she's the brightest light of my day and my 24 hour Best friend but sometimes she wears me out...and some might laugh and call me weak and tell me she's just a baby (and there is nothing more annoying than that) but the truth is nobody will understand except me...cause she is my baby and my responsibility...I see her at her best and her worst...all day everyday.

We bought her a plastic pumpkin and she insisted on holding it all the way home... She is constantly getting into cupboards...here she found our broom and was a big helper by sweeping!
One day we were driving and I turned around to find that this little booger took her hair out..ahah...I HAD to take a pic because if there is one pic to describe her personality it's this...a little crazy with a sweet disposition.

As I was cleaning the family room one day I noticed it was really quiet...I turned the corner to see what Miss C had been up to...she likes to take all the zip locks out...and right next to this mess was a whole bag of mini marshmallows poured out all over the ground and stepped on (pic not working).
But really...I can't ever stay mad at this little girl...she is just too precious and cute...and...even though I think she is a monster sometimes, it's just "her"...Chloe at her finest!I love this little face! I could kiss it all day long...and I DO!

I wonder what she will be like in a year from now...???

I think that the spirits coming down these days are so much stronger. I believe you. I'm dealing with a 4 year old going on 14. I keep hoping she'll grow out of the drama before she's really a teenager.

Cute post. I feel the exact same way with Phoebs. Its a constant tornado at our house with her getting into everything but i would much rather work for her than work for a crusty old boss any day! (plus this kind of work is priceless. Love being a mom!)
