Lilly Pilly Punkin' Silly

This is our sweet Lilly after she has gotten into mommy's makeup. If there is anything that can be gotten into and made a mess of - this girl can find it! She LOVES makeup, lotions, soap, shampoo - all that stuff is like gold to her. She will find it and find somewhere to spread it - usually on herself, and then somewhere in the house. Scissors are to cut anything she can find, pencils and crayons are to write on anything she can find, and gum is (of course) to put in her hair. What else?! She has been my WORST toddler at getting into things. I think it's a combination of being in a bigger house that has been harder to babyproof, less supervision because of the bigger house and more kids to supervise, older kids leaving things out for her to get into, and the simple fact that she is just a stinker! Hence the name "Lilly Pilly". If Lilly visits your house and you haven't seen or heard from her in a few minutes - you better go find her!

We were in the same house for only a few hours before she found my make-up at Bear Lake! You have a Lilly Pilly and I have a Willy Pilly, everybody needs a Pilly!

I am dealing with this right now also!
I feel guilty that I enjoy the naps so much.. but honestly.. chasing after her messes everyday is TIRING.

We also just had to buy upper locks for the doors. She just leaves! Welp.. not anymore. She's trapped!

Ann, Lilly has the same problem with leaving. Unfortunately, she gave up the naps long ago. It was to the point that I had to shut her in her room crying forever to get her down for a nap and then she'd be grouchy for quite some time after the nap. it just became not worth it!
