Ari likes to un-organize. Books on a shelf? Nah. Let’s put those on the floor. House decorations? No way. Let’s put the basket on my head, make funny faces in the glass bowl, and wiggle my bottom in other bowl. Bedroom picked up? I don’t think so. I will dump out my toys, litter books about my room, and try to pull dirty diapers out of the garbage can. Ari has heard the word ‘no’ a few times the last couple days.

Yesterday I caught her trying to pull decorative balls out of a vase. When she saw me looking at her, she knew she’d been found out and started shaking her head – like she knew the no, no, no’s were going to come out of my mouth. The funny thing was I didn’t even know she knew how to shake her head. Apparently, monkey see, monkey do.
