Okay, about 3 weeks ago...after putting Turner in his bed for a nap, I came downstairs to a quiet house. With 3 kids, that's never a good sign. Tucker was over at Cameron's house, so that meant Taylor was up to something. I called her name several times with no response. I walked towards the master bedroom and called her name again, when I hear an "Um...Good" coming from the pantry. I open the pantry to find Taylor standing in there with the bottle of Mrs. Butterworth's turned up and her drinking out of it! She turned and looked at me (never removing her lips from the upturned bottle) and said again "Um...Good....ya want some?". The sight was hilarious...not to mention that she drank almost 3 inches of a large bottle of syrup...which meant it was now gone. I shut the door, threw the empty bottle of syrup away and added it to the grocery list. Then last week she turned to the "hard stuff". I guess since I've put the syrup up on a higher shelf that she can't reach...she's now trying to drink the gallon of canola oil I keep in the floor. This thing is huge...I mean, I shop at Sam's! Needless to say, I had to move it to the top of the pantry as well. Then 3 days ago, I find her with a bottle of hot pink paint, turned up and she's trying to drink out of it. She had pink paint all over her mouth and she gave Turner little hot pink kisses all over his head. Luckily none of the paint was inside of her mouth, it was just all over her face and lips. It washed off pretty easy, but I wish I would of taken a picture of her and Turner's hot pink mohawk...it was hilarious!
This afternoon the kids are playing in my bed and Tucker screams "Mom, Taylor's drinking again!"...I run in to find Taylor with the bottle of lotion turned up. I guess it tasted too bad and she spit it out in my hand...which was totally gross by the way. Does anyone know rehab for 2 year olds?! I've locked all cabinets and put door knob covers on any rooms that contain things I think she might want to drink. I gate her out of the kitchen during the day...I even have to lock the bathroom doors during the day so she can't get in there to drink the toilet water! I guess the only thing I can do is keep Poison Control on speed dial.
