Commander Update

The Commander was unusually "spirited" this weekend. She escaped out the front door while I was cleaning up poop thanks to La-La who was going commando following an epic gorging session on sweet potatoes. Enough said. The Commander not only escaped while I was dealing with that mess, she closed the front door behind her. She has taken the Little Dog's leash with her apparently to find a new dog when I caught up with her. We now have another layer of baby gates and newly installed hell-on-earth to open baby gate on the porch that is climb proof.

The Commander also:

• Made an omelet on the tile floor with half a dozen eggs and wooden spoon (no bowl)
• Stripped repeatedly
  
• Took La-La's overpriced diaper cream and used the entire tube to cover a wall; with her new electric toothbrush
• Threw a glass of ice cold water on me when I was blow drying my hair
• Put my hairbrush in the toilet
• Painted her face with my new Smashbox eyeshadow palette
• Tore my knitting off the needles
• Pulled all of her clothes out of the dresser, threw them on the floor and then squirted a chocolate milk box all over her room
  
• Ate a rhinestone in front of the Social Worker
• Painted the Little Dog with fuschia tempera paint
• Meticulously coated La-La's freshly shampooed hair with strawberry yogurt
• Fed the Little Dog chicken bones
• Climbed to the living room ceiling using the window panes
• Pushed the stroller over to the china cabinet to pull down the ink stamp pad on top of it- which she gave to La-La
• Escaped - did I mention she escaped?

So, now we have deadbolts on both doors, double and triple layers of baby gates (which are almost impossible to open), we have moved the strollers so she cannot use them step stools, and we have put locks on all the internal doors in the house.... I personally plan to putting together a panic room so the Little Dog and I can grab La-La and hide out.
