There Is a Monster Among Us AKA Claire Update

Things have been rough with Claire AKA Little Monster lately.
-
She is definitely our adventurous one! She climbs into, onto, over, and through everything. Perhaps she is just learning her prepositions? I think not.
-
At this point, I am a little at my wits ends. I can not keep up! Thankfully we have Audra who will yell, "Claire is on top of the table!" so we can go and resuce Claire.
-
Also, she has a favorite activity: when you give her food, she will give you a disdainful look and forcefully throw her food on the floor. Thank goodness for the hardwood is all I can say about that.

The expression on her face pretty much sums this nightmare time up: "Look mom, I am up here and I LOVE it!"

-And here she is after she ATE a marker. Yes, the actual marker point was nowhere to be found- except, presumably- her tummy. Can you guess the color?

Hopefully this stage will be over soon, so we can enter the tantrum stage. Oh, kids are sure fun!

Then, on Wednesday I was thinking to myself how grateful I am that she will at least stay in her exersaucer while I shower-WHEW! What a blessing, because how else am I going to shower if I can't keep her tied down?

-

Guess what she learned to do Thursday? Yup, you guessed it. She climbed right on out of that exersaucer.

NOW WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?????

Claire Update from previous update:

Well, I guess there are some good points about this Little Monster.

Tonight while putting her to bed she dropped her toothbrush. I said, "where's your toothbrush?" As clear as day she said, "Uh-oh, where'd it go?" and kept repeating it. I guess I can't stay too mad at her for long.
