do they sell cages for 2 year olds???


Hannah is barely 2 and I've had to call poison control twice for her already... once for eating Desitin, the other for eating nail polish, and almost had to call again this morning for toothpaste (fortunately I got it away from her in time).


She climbs the bookcase and anything else possible, she runs through the house and smacks into things constantly... her legs look like we beat her because of all the bruises. She's fallen and hit her head more times than I can count. After the toothpaste incident she climbed in the bed with her daddy, threw her head back into his and hit his nose... it's an absolute miracle she didn't break it as hard as it hit and the crunch sound against the cartilage. Oh and she also jumps on the beds, couch, whatever, stands on the kitchen chairs and gets into the pantry, and runs into the fireplace constantly.


and it's definitely a good thing that we have child safety locks on the car doors since she unlocks the door and pulls on the handle the entire time we're driving anywhere.


oh and I'm really starting to get worried, now that she's figured out how to unlock the deadbolts and has no qualms about running out into the street.


there are days I literally want to superglue her butt to the floor...

Yep, that sounds like a two year old. I know its hard to deal with especially when you are out to there preggers. That is how old my DD, also a climber, was when I was pregnant and I had my DS. I remember one time I was nursing my newborn and I heard a noise in the kitchen, I went in there and low and behold there she was ON TOP OF THE REFRIDGERATOR. I kid you not. Oh the joy of toddler/preschoolers. I often thought about a cage too:)

You poor thing. You sure do have your hands full. Is this what I have to look forward to in about 6 months?
I hope she settles down before the new baby comes.
