Who says girls aren't like boys?

I've heard the saying "Girls are much easier than boys!" all too often. These past several weeks Rachel has proved that saying wrong. She is far more into things and mess making than Ethan ever was, at this age. :) He was much more inclined to sit with a book, play with some cars, bounce a ball, etc... She, on the other hand, is into reorganizing things, taking ALL the books off the shelf, dumping things out of bags, etc... she keeps me on my toes way more than he did. But, her personality (so far) is easier to deal with than his. Ha! There's trade offs at every corner. :)

Anyway, this morning I was using the bathroom (the one thing I do alone) and I heard the pantry door open and panicked because I realized I had forgotten to lock it. I hurried up and ran out of the bathroom just in time to find my daughter in a huge pile of popcorn all over the kitchen floor. My first reaction was to flip out, but all I could hear was Rachel saying "Mommy! Corn!" she was eating bits and pieces and just looked quite pleased. So, instead, we had fun wit it and tossed the popcorn around (like you would do with leaves in the fall) and had fun with it before cleaning it up. This picture makes me laugh because she was kind of thrown off when I didn't freak out and started snapping pictures of her.

Not sure how many of you remember the comet cleanser mess Ethan made back at our hold house - the was way easier to clean up than that was. :)
