Toddlers…… Little bundles of fun exploring the World and developing into little people.They can be so cute and affectionate. They have infectious giggles and give the most amazing cuddles but how much mischeif can they get into in just a short amount of time?

Now I’m not talking about actually leaving toddlers alone here. However, sometimes we do need to nip out of the room for just a minute… like when you pop to the kitchen to get them a drink or snack, run upstairs to fetch something or even when you just need to go to the loo. Believe me when I tell you I don’t hang around in there.

Here’s just 6 of the things that can and have happened to us in the short space of time it takes Mummy to go for a wee:

  1. Find a brand new expensive bottle of sun tan lotion and pour it over self and table before making pretty patterns in it. Yes very creative but not funny when you are about to do the school run.
  2. Help self to cereal and pour it all over the place. Faveourite places are living room floor or the mop bucket why? I have no idea!
  3. Find a crayon, pen or pencil (believe me when I say I hide these away) and colour all over the walls.
  4. Help self to orange and eat it, skin and all.
  5. Quietly hide somewhere so you think you’ve lost them.
  6. Finally get naked. Usually when you need to leave the house quickly like for an appointment or the school run.

She might look angelic but she’s a naughty little monkey this one.

Advice to self: don’t leave your toddler alone, not even for even a minute!
