Warning Toddler Stories

Annecdote #1: Katie as you may remember bruised her thumb quite badly in an accident with a door a few weeks ago, Monday evening she was sitting on her potty when the door rang. I went to get it and in my hurry to close the living room door behind me did not see the flash of greased lightning that is my daughter and clipped her on the side of the head with the door. Much crying ensued, but she seemed to be more outraged than hurt. She pointed to her head (wanting it kissed) and said in a loud injured tone of voice "door", then she held out her thumb, her voice rising another octave; "door", emphasizing her disgust, once more the thumb went up (as did her voice); "DOOR". The "door" is in the doghouse in our domicile.

Annecdote #2: Yesterday, Diarmuid (the 16 month old toddler paradigmslost watches) got his knickers in a twist and he started screaming at a high pitch (he does that on occasion). This went on for a while and in the meantime paradigmslost took the two kids upstairs. Katie went to the bedroom got my earplugs from the bedside table and failing in her attempt to put them in her own ears took them to my husband seemingly in an effort to say "Here, I can't seem to get them in my ears but you look like you need them".

She's a good kid.
