31 Days of Play! Mischievous Play


When things get a little too quiet I know that my little Beansprout is up to something . . . This morning, in the middle of washing my hair, that feeling came over me, and as I peaked out of the shower, I found him squeezing his toothpaste into the sink!  I'll pause here to say how I love that he realizes he's doing something mischievous --  I know this because though he protests when I tell him he needs to hand over the toothpaste, the protest is half-hearted.  Though I now realize why we seem to have run out of two tubes already, I have to laugh at the experimentation of this play!  I figure this might be how it goes in his head . . .

         #1) get more toothpaste (it tastes so good!)
         #2) oh!  can I squeeze the paste out myself?
         #3) I CAN squeeze it out myself - let's squeeze some in the sink
         #4) Well, I can't see it in the sink, but if I reach my hand over, I can FEEL it.
         #5) Yum!

Of course, I am extremely grossed out by the fact that he's eating toothpaste out of the bathroom sink!  Such is the mischief of a two-year old!

I'm writing about play for 31 days!  You can check out an explanation of the challenge here, where you'll find my other posts, too!

  1. Well, at least tooth paste cleans up pretty easy. I painted the bathroom mirror with nail polish when I was little. That didn't g over so well.
