You will often hear Dakota saying:
"No, we don't do it like that... we do it like THIS..."
"That's not a _______, that's a __________!"
"That's not what I said, I said this...."
Ugh... I get corrected by her at least 20 times a day. It's somewhat exhausting. I love her tenacity but boy can she wear me out!

Lots and Lots of Messes
In the past 5 days, Dakota has:
Flooded the bathroom counter, ruining 2 rolls of toilet paper.
Spilled an entire jar of fish food all in and around the fish tank and surrounding carpet area.
Unrolled 2 whole rolls of toilet paper just for fun in my bathroom covering the floor with heaps of TP.
Dumped 1/3 of a 45 pound pale of hard wheat at Jichan's house covering the entire guest room floor and bed, sprinkled down the hall all the way to the kitchen and scattered a large portion in their master bedroom.
Flooded the kid's bathroom while bathing by emptying 1/2 the bathtub water onto the floor.
REVISED:
She has now also completely emptied a box of tissues.
Completely emptied a full carton of wet wipes.
Dragged a chair, climbed on the counter, reached the very highest shelf in the cupboard, opened the decorating sprinkles and emptied them in a trail-like fashion from the cupboard all the way to the front door. (The red ones stain, too! Just fyi)
One day at a time, one day at a time...
All of these tasks were completed within a matter of MINUTES.
I don't know how she does it, but I am pretty much fed up with messes for the week!
