Maybe She'll Be An Electrician

I think Mylee might want to be an electrician. This is the second time in a couple of months that she has had sparks flying out of an outlet. The first time I was vacumning and out of the corner of my eye I say sparks and smoke. She had stuck a bobby pin into the outlet where I had plugged in the vacumn. Then the other night Shelby came running out into the garage yelling something about Mylee. I ran inside and she came up the stairs crying, holding out her hand. Her fingers were black. In a panic I hurry and ran them under cold water asking what happened. She was playing with this olympic pin when she either tried to it into the outlet, or it dropped and she went to get it. There were two things already plugged into the outlet. A nightlight and a carbon monoxide detector. The pin was resting right on top of the prongs of the nightlight. This sent smoke and sparks shooting out. There were little outlines of her fingers outlined in black off to the side.



I cleaned it up as best I could then decided I would blog about it. This is what I couldn't get off. Luckily we live in a house that will trip a breaker and shut of the power supply if something like this happens. Her fingers were black but not burnt. I think she got a bit of a shock though.

Never leave a three year old alone for very long. A couple of months ago I got in the tub. I came out and found Mylee with a pair of scissors entertaining herself. Well it kept her quiet for about a half hour.

She got mad that I was taking her picture.

If you don't have anyone to play with make your own company. The other night she told me in a very loud voice that she wasn't tired and wanted to watch Dora instead of going to bed. So I turned on Dora and went into my room. After a few back and forths to her bedroom I came out and found her sitting around the foot rest with a few babies watching Dora at 10:30 at night. You have got to love a three year old!!
