Aftermath

Just two hours after declaring a sick day:

 

The "under the weather" toddler's room is destroyed.

 

The sock drawer is broken into.

 

Pairs are cruelly yanked apart after minutes spent matching them together.

 

Certain dogs who know better take advantage of the parental figure's assumed ambivalence and decide to convalesce on clean sheets doled out by the "sick" child.

 

The parental figure can only gaze at the toddler's pull out couch and spend some time trying to devise a way to relax comfortably on it while the "woefully ill" toddler continues their spree of chaos.

 

Does this toddler, interrupted in her quest to potty train Tigger, look sick to you?

 

Didn't think so.

OMG!!!! She so totally belongs to my family - my sons do that all the time!!! Except they even take the sheets off of their beds exposing the mattress but no sign of the floor!!! it is covered!

[Casey]

So you're saying that's NOT normal behavior for a toddler? Seriously? My kid does that all day long. Sprite needs to come and teach him some manners.

[WickedStepMom]

I don't know, she is looking a little flushed while taking tigger to be potty trained! ;)

I hope she is not sick, but if she is I hope she gets better soon.

[Sammanthia]

That totally looks like my house right now, only "laziness" is my excuse!
I'm glad to see it looks like she's feeling better!

[Deemarie]

That's totally what I do when I'm home sick. There's no time for rest when Tigger needs potty-training. She's practicing for mommy-hood, just pushing through the pain.

LOL - our three-year-old does the same thing, IN REVERSE. She puts everyone's stuff away. It can be days until I find my cell phone, which she has carefully tucked into her baby stroller for a nice nap.

Great pics! It looks like Sprite is feeling great ;).

Hilarious!! Logan has that same crib, now turned into a big-boy bed *sniff*

[Amy]

Poor you! A magical WW to you.

Oh, I am laughing so hard right now, particularly @ the potty training of Tigger.

So cute!!

[Lisa @ Boondock Ramblings]

So, so funny.

Oh this reminds me of Jonathan after he goes through the living room.

[The Stiletto Mom]

Oh she sucker punched you but good. I love the spree of chaos remark. Every time one of mine is sick, the entire house gets destroyed. It's as if they emit garbage and toys as they cross a room...blows my mind every time.

[Sprite's Keeper]

This is why children's clothes should not have pockets. Just more places to hide crap...

[Kat]

LaLa just asked me "Why does Sprite have a messy room?" I told her "cause she is sick" I couldn't think of anything else.

[Elle Charlie]

Oh, my, she is looking rather well for a sick girl...

[carrie]

2 hours????? Set a play date with my kids and they will teach her to increase productivity to produce that mess within 15 minutes :)

[anna]

LOL

Isn't that always the case?

[steenky bee]

Oh dear. She looks AWFUL! Dreadful and just so sickly. Poor thing. I hope she gets her strength back soon. Poor dear. :)

[Miss Jack]

Oh, I know that 'not sick' look anywhere. We had the same situation over here about a month ago. Too funny. Now that I think about it....

[Becca]

You know, she needs to do a little better. I actually could see some exposed carpet!

[Sherendipity]

omg, those cheeks!

[Heidi]

You haven't seen Sean's room yet!!
