It doesn’t take long for a two year old to make a mess… I’ve known that for quite a while now. But usually when they’re harnessed in their car seats, it’s more challenging for them to be destructive. More challenging, but not impossible.
The other day we were grocery shopping and I bought a roll of wrapping paper to wrap a gift for my mom for Mother’s Day. Extra credit for advance planning. However… in an effort to entertain Fletcher while I was loading the groceries in the back of the car, I gave him the roll of wrapping paper to entertain himself. Thinking, “What harm can he do? It’s wrapped in celophane and there’s no one else in the car for him to beat up on.” Silly Mommy. Why am I always surprised? I came back to get in the car and this was what I found:
“I made a tunnel, Mommy!” he says, with a huge smile on his face. Oh well, it was only wrapping paper. I laughed and said, “Yes you did!”
