The very tiresome thing about toddlers, God bless them, is that you Have to Keep Them Occupied. I know this is a natural to a greater or lesser extent depending on the kid. Our is ALWAYS On the Go! She fidgets constantly, and if you don't get ahead of the curve and line up stuff for her to fidget with, she'll take the house apart, which I guess is really not all that bad. If, however, you're planning on asking her where all the pieces went off to when you're looking to put it back together......well....good luck with that. She will not know. Needless to say, we don't ever let it get that far. Although we have considered standing back and watching to see what happens without constant intervention (while eating popcorn or some kind of entertainment food as we watch from a kind of ethereal amphitheater), but as the house would become a slow movement towards disaster we cannot bear to watch that dismantling, and therefore......must intervene, which as parents, is of course, our Job. There are times though when you fantasize about turning 'off' the 'Overseer'--we wouldn't and can't anyway, but it isn't for a lack of fantasizing about it.
Our Beautiful Toddler certainly keeps us on our toes as we try and stay ahead of her feisty energetic Curve. :)
