Mother Nature is a force to reckon with. Hurricanes, tornadoes, snow, hail, etc. Not good and the damage can be astronomical. But I think she has a thing or two to contend with. What is that you ask? Well, to any mother that has ever had a 2 year old, you know that these creatures can do damage that I'm sure could well exceed anything you could ever imagine. And they don't need long to do it. If you have ever left a toddler alone for 5 minutes, which is extremely dangerous I might add, any Mother is afraid to look at what might have happened while they weren't looking. Today was a perfect example. We had just finished dinner, and I was cleaning off the table. Caitlyn ran off to her room, which usually doesn't worry me since I consider her room to be pretty kid friendly. Next thing I hear is this absolutely loud crashing noise, one that makes you run to see what's wrong since it's not a normal crashing noise. So I ran into her room just to find her sitting in the middle of a pile of books with her reading one of them. She had managed to pull her book shelf off of the wall to reach her favorite book. Didn't even phase her since she felt she was victorious for achieving her goal. Not only are toddlers destructful, but they have a one track mind, and make sure that above else they get what they want, no matter the consequence. I guess that doesn't change much, but all I can say, is that if we left a few thousand toddlers alone in one city by themselves, maybe they couldn't do the water damage that Katrina did, but I do see many faucets on and toilets overflowing, things thrown about. Damage that Mother Nature must be in competiton with. Bless every mother and what she deals with on a daily basis. You have to love kids to do what we do. And it's worth every minute of it!!

LOL!!! Your writing cracks me up!!! :)
Okay, so you saw what Zoe was able to do in record time... Right before Nanette and Jennifer showed up... spilled an entire pitcher of Crystal Light in the living room... anhilated over a dozen cone cupcakes... And now I'm cleaning pee and poop off the floor like I'm training a doggone puppy!!! Yup... Mother Nature's fury is nothing to the wildly laughable hysteria that is a toddler.
So true so true!!!
