The daughter I always wanted...

Ya know those mornings when you just can't get ahead....like every little step of the way you're making one step forward and two backward.  Like you're in the shower only to find your nearly 2-year-old rummaged through your underwear drawer and had littered the bedroom with his treasures... the dog chewed a toy leaving small shards of plastic toys all over the floor...you've changed 3 poor explosion diapers and already have 3 outfits soaking in your kitchen sink before 9am....

...well, this was one of those exact mornings.

I should have known that William was up to trouble when he was seemingly content as I was drying my hair.  We have an ongoing battle over possession of my makeup tote.  I always have to keep a watchful eye on it and lately it rarely makes its way home in the vanity because of dear William's fascination with its contents. 

Little did I realize there was an old tote in the back of the vanity...filled with plenty of William's prized lipsticks! 


Gotta love how he carries it like a purse.  He repeatedly reminded me who was the finder of this treasure.... "ME!"

What can I say....
he's just like the little girl I always wanted.

May I add that the morning only got more eventful with William dropping his "purse" down the stairs.  This would normally not be a big deal....except for the decade-old eye shadow that popped open on its tumble....thus spilling chunks of dried, flaking gray eye shadow all over the stairs....

Yup, another clean-up required!

And yet another day I tell William,
"You're lucky you're cute!"
