Busy, Busy Bee

Terrible two's, it is a phrase used around the world to describe the active, curious toddler. It is a phrase I have used, but one that I am not too particularly fond of. It is a self prophesy fulfilled thing. So since it is a phrase that I don't like to use, but definitely describes my darling daughter today I need to come up with a better substitute. Any suggestions?

We have been up and at it for a little over two hours, in that time there has been;

• Two trips to the naughty chair, once for hitting the dog, and once for choosing not to listen to mommy when asked to pick up her spoon and plate she threw off her high chair tray
• Several mini fits, stomping of the feet, short lived cries or whines
• Several, "Don't play in the dog's water!" Both inside the house and outside, in fact as I write this her pant legs are soaked because she decided to take a wash clothe, get it wet in the outdoor dog water bowl and mop up our back patio.
  
• Too many "no's" to count...from her. I try really hard not to use that word so that it won't be thrown back at me. Guess I am not trying hard enough.
• A dozen, "It is not time to feed the kitty. You can feed the kitty when daddy gets home from work." And the fits that follow me putting the cat food back in the pantry.
• A handful of being redirected after being caught playing with the ice & water dispensers in the fridge.
• A couple of "STOP playing with the DVD player!"
• And one HUGE salt mess. She dumped the entire contents of our salt pig (small clay open container on the counter we keep Kosher salt for cooking) all over the counter, stove, and floor.

Sigh...we've only been up for two hours and I am ready for NAP TIME!
