What do you do with a two-year-old who takes delight in chaos? My wife already blogged about The Snow Incident.
But evidently once just wasn't enough! Act II of The Snow Incident happened Sunday, just before our whole family was to meet with the bishop for recommends to attend the Draper Temple dedication. Yes, baby powder was everywhere. I vacuumed, hoping that would do a good enough job. It helped, but there was still a fine layer of powder on the pergo floor, which made it extra slippery. Fun, but he already broke his leg once. So I mopped it as well. And wiped it off of the furniture and bedding and. . . well, just about everything. It took me well over an hour to clean. On the bright side, I don't think his room has been that clean since we moved in.
The baby powder is no longer located in Jack-Jack's room.
Oh, but he's crafty. Yesterday he found the itch cream and squeezed it out of the tube onto his diapers. Naturally it didn’t stay there. It got all over the floor and his furniture, and all over him, too.
The itch cream is no longer located in Jack-Jack’s room, either.
Nor is the Aquaphor, nor anything else that could be shaken or squeezed within his room.
I suppose one solution is to give up on nap time. But that means my wife will also have to give up nap time. Not happening. Another solution is duct tape, but that seems a little extreme.
So I ask you, what do you do with a two-year-old who thrives on creating chaos?

Go with the duct tape.
"there was still a fine layer of powder on the pergo floor, which made it extra slippery. Fun, but ..." I think, 'dangerous', Dad thinks 'FUN!" And you wonder where our 2yr. old gets it from?
No way around it...you'll just have to wait until he's three.
