Quick Study
J and I have stayed busy attempting to keep Kendell's curiosity for the Christmas decorations in check. She was very drawn to the Advent Calendar Box in front of the tree (especially after a certain someone {me} showed her that the doors open). After she knew how it worked, it became her mission to get the doors open, pull out a couple drawers, and tap them together. Of course, she knew she wasn't suppose to, so once I noticed and said something, she was quickly trying to shove the draws into their spot (unsuccessfully) or quick shut the doors and move away. Sneaky little thing! Anyway, she finally got the hint that this wasn't appreciated, and stopped.
Apparently, I was looking for something else naughty to teach her, because that's exactly (not purposefully) what I did.
When the gifts from J's parents arrived, one squishy item's wrapping paper had gotten torn. Because of this, we put the gift towards the back of the tree. No problem. Kendell didn't bother it, or any of the other gifts for that matter.
Until....
I decided to take a look at the torn paper gift and jokingly explained to Kendell how to guess your gifts. I showed her how the squishy torn paper gift was soft, we picked up a couple others that were soft, shook others, etc. One box caught my attention and I started using the usual tricks to figure it out (looking between the pieces of wrapping paper where it's taped, shaking, feeling, etc), while Kendell took off to do something else. That something else ended up being that she walked back over to the torn paper gift, and in just a couple well placed teeaaarrrr's, she effectively exploited it's weakness!
Yes, little Miss Kendell tore open a present early, and I'm afraid I'm the one to blame for the deviant behavior!
After she was done checking it out, she brought the torn pieces of wrapping paper over and placed them back on the frog! Too funny!
On a good note - she loved it (a big stuffed frog) and seemed very pleased with her accomplishment.

Look what I found...
Sooo soft. I love it!
