When I Wasn't Looking

#1 - Damian sat on the potty for a while and didn't actually do anything.  But then when I wasn't looking, he used a chair to climb onto the counter and raided the candy cupboard.  I am happy to say he only took one Starburst.  I guess he felt like he deserved a reward for trying.

#2 - Damian decided he wanted to watch "Veggie Tales".  So when I wasn't looking, he climbed onto the arm of the couch, from which he can reach the VCR.  He successfully got the movie playing all by himself.  I was too proud of him for taking initiative to remind him that he'd already watched kind of a lot of TV today.

#3 - Damian had arts and crafts time today, painting a wooden monkey mask thing we found at Jo-Ann.  But then he got bored of the monkey face, and when I wasn't looking, he started painting his hand.  And then his own face.  For the sake of encouraging his creativity, I let it go for a while ... until the paint started dripping on the floor.  Good thing the carpet didn't even look clean when we moved in.


Maybe I should watch Damian a little more carefully before the mischief becomes unmanageable...
