My Little Trouble

Short attention span she brings When she is getting into everything She doesn't like her matchbox truck Looks like mama is outta luck Turn on tv to watch blues clues She starts playing with daddy's shoes Mama needs a deserved break Oh no, she just spilt her strawberry shake Trouble, trouble, my girl's trouble Making all of my chores double She counts to ten, says her ABC's You couldn't tell she's almost three She wants out, she wants in Mama can't cry, she can only grin She is rough , she is tumble She is meek, she is humble Take a deep breath mama chill Daughter will do what she will There is no stopping this tornado Better release and let her go The cat in the hat doll in the sink She colored the coffee table pink Oh goodness mama better smile Cleaning the house will take a while But there is fun to be had today If mama gives up and just wants to play

Yep, can sure identify as the one who watches my 2 yr. old granddaughter. She gets away with murder and her parents wonder why she never seems to want to go home! I enjoyed this.

Have you tried hanging her upside down in a closet, that worked for me. Not for long, a few days no more.
