Our Strong Willed Child

I thought I would share with you what its like living with a true strong willed child. Keep in mind that I was a preschool teacher for 10 years so to me she really isn't that bad. However she does have her bad times. Here are her top most difficult times so far:

Eating an entire tub of margarine
Breaking eggs over the piano
Smearing red jello over the carpet
covering her entire room in poop and herself and teeth
Killing frog for fun till we told her if she kills any more she will eat them (teaching respectful hunting)
Sneaking out of her room at night to steal food
Dumping out the entire hall closet
Sneaking out of her room at night to play (we now have an alarm on her door so no more sneaking lol)
Trying to take her brother out of his crib at 1 week old (we now have a lock on his door to keep him safe)
Painting the entire computer room in kids paint.. floor, walls, computers, couch, everything
and now
cutting 90% of the christmas ornaments strings off

LOL There's one we haven't had to deal with! The rest are pretty familiar (except the frogs) but we've never had them cut the strings off the ornaments.

Oh my goodness...you have your hands full for sure! I am thinking Maddie is strong willed, and this scares me just a bit..
