Worst thing your toddler has got up to unsupervised

[MiaWallace]

Following on from the thread about leaving toddlers to play unsupervised -

What is the worst thing yours has got up to when unsupervised?

Dd managed to get a tub of emulsion out of a cupboard with a safety lock on it, somehow got the lid of the tub, and then proceeded to smear the emulsion all over the stair carpet and banister.

What tales of destruction have you got?

[TheArmadillo]

oh and the other day found a bottle of olbas oil (dp's - I can't stand the smell) and emptied the contents over our bedroom carpet.

and if we are asleep and he sneaks into our bedroom, after he has stripped, emptied his nappy on the floor and covered himself in cosmetics and lotions he likes to stand on our windowsill and dance for the neighbours - I didn't know until one of them told me

I think i need to post a thread in health with what my DS has done this week....keep your eyes peeled....

[pinkchampagne]

DS2 helped himself to some of H's remegels. We didn't realise until H asked for them days later, but it explained DS's spell of diarrhoea which we had put down to a tummy bug 3 days prior to this!

Hijacking this with a link to my story...here

[joash]

All funny - but PMSL @ J20BABY

Put a nicnak up nose and we spent 7 hours at the ER

Ds1 cleaned his teeth with the toilet brush, smeared lipstick all over my white bedsheets, filled his potty then hid it in the nice, warm airing cupboard to ferment, posted the front door key out of the letterbox and left it lying on the mat in the hope of attracting passing burglars.

Ds2 mashed orange crayon into the speakers of daddy's new(ish) telly, stuck rice crispies in his nose, ate 6 bananas in one go and stuffed the skins down the side of the settee, and still likes to wee in unusual containers (the bin, a cup, the tub of bathtoys etc).

Both dses have also enjoyed jamming videos sideways into the player, aquirting toothpaste into each other's hair, and phoning random numbers out of the phone's memory. Thankfully most stored numbers are relatives so they tend to understand, but the 999 operator was rather shirty with me when I twigged what they were up to and retrieved the handset.

[edam]

ggirl, that's a fantastic set up and punchline. Bless your ds, you can't fault his logic.

LOL at Armadillo not realising ds had been putting on a show for the neighbours - guess you aren't a particularly light sleeper, then?

[cece]

DS poured a bottle of shamppo over the sofa to give it a wash once.

[edam]

Oh, how could I forget only last week ds actually picked apart a corner of our bedroom wall - dug out the steel thingy the plasterers use to make the corners sharp. While dh was supposed to be reading him a bedtime story... (daft dh carried on reading the story to an empty room in a very ill-advised attempt to encourage ds to come back and get into bed)

[VeniVidiVickiQV]

Ah, DS has covered himself totally in sudocream on no less than 4 occasions. He relly likes the taste of it.

DD has smothered DS in diprobase. I had to squeeze across his eyelids so that he could see there was so much of it.

DS regularly, atm, takes his nappy off and flings the poo around in his cot.

He regularly posts things out of the catflap - including DP's shoes - in the rain

[kimi]

My neice covered herself in brill cream took forever to wash off

[sandcastles]

Smeered herself, made footprints on her carpet & made hand prints on the wall with Sudocrem.....

Pinched a chocie of the Chrsitmas Tree & blamed the dog, even tho she had choc around her mouth!

[pollyanna]

dd1 emptied a beanbag once - we couldn't get rid of all the little balls

ds emptied and smeared a tub of sudocreme.He also called the police so many times they threatened to charge us.

ds once tipped a box of crispies out completely.

no poo incidents yet thankfully

Have you just found my 17-month old playing with cat vomit

Ds also picked the phone cable free from the wall, pulled out all the (sharp) clamps that hold it in place. While in his baby bouncer in the doorway. Dh had his back to him, working on the computer, thinking baby bouncer was keeping him safe...

In the space of a fortnight the summer that DS2 was 3 he...

pulled the radiator off the wall in the hall (it's a 5ft long one!)

flooded the bathroom floor and consequently the kitchen - giving me an electric shock when I switched the taps off because the water had gone through the light fitting.

switched off the freezer in the cellar - we didn't notice for about 3 days.

shattered the oven door by throwing a glass at it because I had run out of apple juice.

fed the fish all the fish food, all 20+ tropical fish died.

It was an expensive fortnight!!

[filthymindedvixen]

I seem to have esaped very lightly...
My friend's child came down early, mixed everry thing she could find in a bucket, butter, eggs, flour, washing up liquid, food colouring, museli etc etc and 'iced' the top of the work surfaces, before decorating them with hundreds and thousands.

''Mummee, made you big cake''!


Another time she got washing powder, and scattered it all over the lawn. The grass frothed every time it rained for about 2 months afterwards

And one time painted the cat green.

Another friend's boy painted his eyelids with nail polish - that was a very nasty near mis...luckily he managed to avoid his eyes..

When ds3 was a 2 days old ds2 and dd managed to find a bottle of calpol, get the childproof lock off and feed each other the contents A few hours and blood tests later they were pronounced fine by A&E. Was made worse by the fact that earlier on in the day I'd firmly declined the HVs offer of a visit on the basis that I was coping just fine, thank you v much

DD (two and a half) was too quiet in my in-laws dining room. She appeared in the door way chewing. When asked what she was eating she said fruit. Puzzled looks all round as MIL doesn't have a fruit bowl in the dining room. I asked how many and DD said four. I went to investigate and found a box of marzipan fruits, four of which had a bite out of them. Cue one mortified mother and helplessly giggling grandparents .

One of my sisters (no names to protect the guilty), while supposed to be having her afternoon nap, filled the tea pot, jug and every cup and saucer of her child's tea service with wee. Mum was very impressed that she didn't spill any .

DD2 Found daddies hair wax and smeared it not only on her hair but all over her face. Was horrendous to get off.

DD2- While we were in car showroom she got stuck between the window and a display cabinit. This was made of glass so you could see her squahed up face through it. Dh had to take a pic before dragging her out by her ankles.

DD1- drew me a nice picture on my newly painted wall.

dds 1 - 2 decided to paint the carpet pink for me.

dd2- managed to open the front door and went across the road to my friends house. I was in back garden at the time and didnt realise she was gone till my friend called

dd2- put several pairs of pants down the loo along with hole loo rolls.

The list goes on and on and on, but dd2 is definately the trouble maker. Still growing strong at 3 1/2 years.

Put the tortoise down the toilet to see if it could swim like the terrapins, it got wedged and we had to get the plumber out to take the toilet apart to get it out.


Put snails and slugs in the washing machine 'cos they is dirty' they bunged up the outlet pipe and broke the machine, and I had blamed DH thinking it was his Army kit that had slugs in it after being on Salisbury Plain.

Love this thread.

Makes dd1, currently a handful at 3.2 with a new little sister, seem positively harmless

Though permanent markers as face paints on self and cousin was interesting...
