"no Gaby" "no" "don't do that Gaby" "GABRIELLE"

busted doing something naughty!

Oh man... my daughter is a monster!!! The past while Gaby has been getting into EVERYTHING. I think that all I say is "no Gaby, don't do that", "Gaby - no!", "Gabrielle!", "GABRIELLE!!!". This morning after turning the TV on & off about 20 times, while laughing at me the entire time - and running straight back to the TV after I would move her away, she proceeded to pull all the wipes out of the wipes pack - while I was cleaning that up, she started playing with the stereo - got a hell of a fright when she turned it up & messed up the tuner.... THEN it was into the pantry (oh crap, when did she start being able to get in there?) and pulling food onto the floor. I was sorting out the pantry - and Gaby was into her pre-school bag, pulling out all the contents.... What else did she play with? God only knows, but I see now that the wipes are back on the floor. Moral of the story?? Put everything about two metres off the ground!!!!!!! (yes, I know I could put things away too!).

....while I'm cleaning up one of her messes!

She seems to be laughing at me constantly - in a cheeky way which I know means she is plotting against me. It's a pity it's so bloody adorable!!! I can't help but laugh at her, which doesn't help the matter at all - only serves to encourage her. Trust me, if I could keep a straight face and be stern - I would!!!!!!!

Dancing seems to be one of her favourite things to do as well. She will stand there, rocking side to side, clapping her hands, wiggling her fingers around, sometimes moving her head side to side, crouching down & then standing up. Beautiful - it's just beautiful (and cute) to watch! Her favourite song at the moment seems to be 'Don't Stop The Music' by Rhianna, and 'Bleeding Love' by Leona Lewis. They must do dancing a bit at preschool I think - either that or she's naturally a musical little monkey!!!
