He proceeded to throw it down and laugh maniacally. This had now become a game. I picked the receipt and the pace to the car up. He continued to throw it and laugh. It must've been a fun game to make your parent pick up things, because he sure enjoyed it.
Since it was Easter weekend we also dyed eggs. We only did 12 this year. Ollie still doesn't know what is going on, but he had fun with it. We had 6 colors ready for dunking. Ollie wanted his eggs to be multi-colored, so he threw 1 egg into the dye, then another on top of it, cracking the eggs. All the while he was cackling maniacally.
When a cup was empty of eggs, Ollie would grab a spoon and pretend to dye eggs. His dyeing technique with an empty mug consisted of getting a spoonful of dye and flinging it into the air while laughing maniacally. I was glad I put paper down on the counter, it helped, but the counter was still multi-colored. Ollie's pants were ruined from the dye, his hands were the color of rainbows and there was dye all over the counter. We cleaned up the spills and the dye on the counter and gave Ollie a bath.
The next morning, Ollie got up early for Easter. He received Lego's, a Baby Einstein video (of which he watched 10 minutes), a spinning Incredible toy and CANDY! He ate 2 of the bunnies and parts of 3 suckers. This sent him into a sugar rush and he ran around the house for a few hours laughing maniacally. Later in the day, he found his squirt bottle and he knows how to use it.
First he attacked Darin (after prodding from his father) and he soaked him. We went upstairs to get Annie. He also got his Mama and quite a few of his sisters clothes wet. Finally he woke Dale while he was sleeping with a good shower from the bottle. All this while laughing maniacally. Yes, he enjoys mischief a bit too much.
His devil horns and tail receded this morning, but his crabby claws came back out. I'm just waiting for the peaceful calm we experienced last week to return. As if there is a peaceful calm with a toddler.
