[quote=Anonymous]Sometimes it feels like it gets worse. At two my kid sometimes ripped pages out of books or scribbled on things I wish she wouldn't. She doesn't do that stuff now, at 6, but she's bigger and way more active and she randomly breaks things by knocking them off tables. She spills constantly. She's an incredibly messy eater and it seem to get worse, not better, as she ages, despite much effort on our part to teach and model a tidier approach.

She's just kind of all over the place, easily distracted, clumsy at times with her body growing so fast, but stronger and faster and bigger than she used to be. A 2 year old can be destructive but also tends to be somewhat contained. A 6 year old (or 10 year old, or 16 year old) has a much wider range but is also still learning and things get broken and ruined in that learning process.

We are planning to buy a new couch and new rugs once she outgrows it. That might be in a couple years, or it could be when she moves out of the house. Sigh.[/quote]
