Today, my three year-old:
A) Drew on his bedroom wall with a black marker so that to repair the damage some re-painting will need to be done.
B) Decided to swing a hand towel around the bathroom, so as to break a ceramic Christmas ornament that was on the vanity.
C) Peed in the bathtub as I was running the water for his bath (and I don’t mean while he was in the bath, I mean from outside the tub as if he was peeing in the toilet (which was just to his left)). When asked “is this a toilet?” he responded: “yes.” He spent some time in his room, shall we say.
D) All of the above.
I think you know the answer: and this was within a two hour timespan.
Aren’t they wonderful? I have four boys and one girl. The boys are something else–they don’t outgrow what yours did today. Seriously. In the past three months, I’ve had to buy a new range and a new microwave because my 11-year-old broke the stove and his 13-year-old brother broke the microwave trying to hardboil an egg inside a glass filled with water.

The answer is obviously “D.” You gave it away right at the top when you said he was three years old.
