Caitlin is a little spit fire. She is different in so many ways from my boys. One of which, is her mischievousness. My boys just knew there were things they weren't supposed to get into and stayed out of them. Cait knows there are things she shouldn't get into and then gets into them, breaks them and trashes the place. She has lost everything out of her room a few times now because she will just trash the place. I mean, 4 rolls of toilet paper decorating her room (Even in the humidifier), vicks on the mirror (that I didn't know we had), and of course all drawers of clothes emptied out. Right now she is in the process of earning her belongings back yet again. She is up to one blanket and one pillow and her baby doll. She can earn something after nap time and bed time if her room isn't trashed and nothing from the bathroom in her room. ie. toilet bowl cleaner brush. If she trashes it she starts over. Who knows, she could be 16 and still be earning back a pillow. :)
She has a gift to show people that they are not paying attention to her. And it could be for just a moment. This is her coloring herself. Christian had it the day she sprinkled...no pours baby powder over the whole living room and then spilled a bottle into it.
Her nickname around the house when she is in one of her "moods" is Darth Caitlin. And she knows exactly why Christian calls her that. And when she comes in the room, he hums her new theme song. (the darth vadar song). She does a good job pretending to hate it.
All this spunk may be the source of new wrinkles or grey hairs (i'm really not that old) but she is so worth it. I wouldn't change her for anything. I just hope to channel this spunk to our advantage. Like telling boys to stay away. :) I can dream right!

So sorry but this post is so funny. I hope one day you can laugh at all this, if not now.
She's a cute little firecracker, that's for sure. I find comfort in knowing that I am not the only mom with seriously destructive kids.
