Reason 4,857 that you shouldn't let "silence" last more than 8 seconds
when you have a toddler:
He/She might be drawing on several of your white kitchen floor tiles with her new blue crayon.
ARG.
However, I'm praising the Lord for LYSOL Kitchen cleaner. I sprayed it on, left it for 1 minute and it all wiped up just fine. I might add though, that in that short period of silence, Belle was able to "color" about 7 different tiles and as I'm making dinner I'm finding more! AAAHHHH!!!

That's great! I've learned that as well. Gwyn was quitely playing one day until I realized the was watering the plants. She learned how to use the water dispencer on our fridge and had been filling her glass of water over and over again. Our plants were flooded and water was spilling onto the furniture and carpet! Thank goodness we bought a carpet cleaner when we moved in here.

Silence is a scary thing when you have toddlers- unless you know they are sleeping. Two of my younger ones would even work together to make messes. Whenever it is too quiet I have to go looking for them. Some of the things they've done is spilling finger nail polish on the carpet (that one didn't come out), playing in the ash from our fireplace downstairs, and of course there is always the unraveling of the toilet paper in the bathroom...

Ahhh... it's about that time in life. Just wait til she's writing her name on everything. I remember what that was like when my brothers were little. :)

Oh, the worst was cleaning crayon off of about 50 of the piano keys!
