The above picture has nothing to do with my post. It's just funny because Holynd has the craziest hair and she loves to play with Christmas ornaments (yay... not!).
This post is dedicated to how smart Holynd is. Now, I know a lot of parents would be thrilled to have such a smart little girl, but somehow, this Little Miss Smartie Pants phase is not working out well for me.
Let's go over some things Holynd has learned in the last couple of weeks.
*She knows where the ESC key is on the keyboard and presses it whenever you are not looking. This isn't a big deal unless you have written a 4-page discussion board post for an online class, which doesn't offer you the option of saving before exiting.
*She knows how to take ornaments off of the tree, hide them underneath the couch and play with them only when she "knows" you are not looking.
*She can now open the fridge door.... I'm not kidding, she can stand up to the fridge open the fridge door and even open the drawers. She loves to take all the bottles out of the fridge door too. She's just lucky she's not tall enough to reach my Diet Pepsi or I may resort to spanking my child... ;)
*Holynd has a new found fascination with turning on and off the lights. She knows how to use a lightswitch and if you turn off the light when she wants to do it, she'll throw a huge temper- tantrum until you take her back to the room and let her do it. Or if you leave a room with out turning off the light, she'll grab, as you carry her out of the room, on to do the door jam causing you both to almost fall.
*I have no idea how she learned how to do this, but this one is really starting to get frustrating. She can take the back cover off the remote control to expose the batteries. Not just that, she'll "hide" the batteries so you can't find them and play with them when she "knows" you are not looking.
*She knows how to flip my phone "up" to see the full keyboard and has even almost sent a few text messages.
*Holynd loves to hide under her crib and not respond when you call out her name.
*She likes to drain her tub in the middle of her bath.
*She likes to turn the faucet on and off during her bath.
*If she puts a foreign object into her mouth and you come over to make her spit it out, she knows how to clamp her mouth shut, rendering you unsuccessful until you present her with a sucker or some other yummy treat.
*She knows how to bend her sippy cup "spout" just right to spray the contents everywhere.
*She knows how to open the cover to the DishNetwork box and turn the satellite dish on and off.
In other news, I still love being a mom.
