mischievous day

Yesterday was a mischievous day for Av. First she ate a mostly full tube of KIDS training toothpaste. She is obsessed with toothpaste and floss. She 'flosses' her teeth many times a day. Every time I am in my bathroom getting ready or something she comes in and grabs the floss. There is nothing else to play with in the bathroom so the floss has become the toy. She just likes the taste of it. At first she used to just pull a big long piece of floss out but I have since switched to more expensive floss so I tell her when she goes to grab it, “little piece, it is expensive." So now as soon as she grabs it she always says, "little piece, expensive.” She grabs a real small piece, way to small to floss with, and waits for me to cut it off for her. I have tired to teach her many times to cut it herself but she does not look down at what her hands are doing so she can't do it. She looks at me and tries but she is nowhere near the loop to cut it. UGH! I thought at first it was a good thing, you know, good example. Now it just drives me crazy. Back to the toothpaste though I was putting the dishes away and she was upstairs playing like she does a lot. I went to check on her and she had her toothpaste tube hanging out of her mouth (which she got by standing in her bottom bathroom drawer to reach it). I took it away and tried to explain AGAIN we don't eat toothpaste. It was the kid’s training kind and after reading the back I was not worried. I got her interested in a toy and then headed back downstairs to finish up the dishes. A few minutes later I heard a very muffled crying. I headed back upstairs and into her room. I initially did not see her but still heard the crying. She had gotten herself stuck inside her closet. I opened the door and immediately started laughing. She was sitting in a laundry basket in only her underwear with the toy she had been playing with. She was kind of stuck in the laundry basket. The basket’s edges are pretty rough because jack chewed on it when he was a puppy. Every time she tried to get out she got scratched since she was pretty much naked. It was a funny sight and yes she laughed with me when I did.
