Anyone who has spent 30 seconds with a toddler knows that kids this age are wired to explore the world around them. That means they require 24-7 supervision to keep them safe, or at least to keep them from making a huge mess all over the house
One Colorado mom found this out the hard way. While nursing her infant son, Madox, Victoria Farmer momentarily took her eyes off her 2-year-old daughter, Anistyn. And suddenly, she realized the entire house was scary quiet.
Putting her son down, Farmer went into the next room and found Anistyn completely drenched in white paint from her hair to her toes, thanks to her curious nature and an open paint container nearby. When her mother found her, Anistyn was standing still like a statue, Farmer wrote on Facebook, according to Fox 31 Denver. It looks like she just climbed right in and went for a swim.

You don't tell me what I can post.
GOT IT?
I was one of those who got a foreign unpronounceable and unspellable name, because my spoiled mother wanted it. And when I had children there were names I crossed off my list because I knew my kids would have to endure what I endured if I used those names. Parents need to think of their children to some degree when it comes to naming them.
I think you're right, staged. The moms hand prints on the shoulders are definitely a clue. And who the heck leaves a two-year-old toddler alone with a stepladder around? I have several toddler grandchildren, and when here (which is just about daily as we babysit) they will attempt the most dangerous stuff, which is why we watch them carefully. Yesterday, one three-year-old granddaughter crimped her finger under a checkers game board and couldn't get her finger free, crying hysterically. Because she was sitting on the board. Toddlers do the weirdest things.
At least she took off her clothes first.
My sons were super active and creative when little. Talked too young, walked and ran too young. I saved their lives at least 1,000 times before they were two. I could not let them out of my sight and I even took showers at night after they were in bed and daddy was home. We hired a nanny to come in and help me keep them alive and to give my heart a break. LOL
Mom told me to get a play pen so I did. The baby climbed the netting high enough to throw the weight of his shoulders and head over the side and filp himself out for the great escape. Then it was too dangerous to use the play pen. After those first two years, it was smoothe sailing, thank God.
It is a miracle they made it through those baby years.
There are several things in that pic that dont look right. Why are the ladder steps white? The position of the footprints looks staged and a different size than the child’s feet. In any case that’s a mess I would hate to have to clean up.
Some of mine have been like that.
Point made.
I don’t know if you remember the Art Linkletter show “Kids say the darnest things? I can just imagine a show “Kids do the darnest things”
Point missed.....
Yahoo a left winged site
When I was a kid I put my head in and got it stuck in an angel-food cake pan - the one with the hole in the middle. My mom was frantic and called her sister-in-law.
“Is he breathing!”
“Oh yes - he’s just sitting there crying.”
“Okay - first thing you do is take a photo!”
My mom did, and then the sister-in-law came over and with some crisco they got the pan off my head. Cleaning out my mom’s stuff the other year never came across that photo. Oh well.
I was watching my daughters when my wife was gone. Let them go play at the neighbors house. When I went to get them at the door they had some washable colors on their faces and their hair tied back. “We were playing fashion-model!”
But as they walked out of the house I saw their hair wasn’t tied back - they had cut it (Like 8 inches - in blotches)! “Girls - you are going to be in so much trouble when your mom gets home”. (And by “you” I meant “we”!)
Set up!
No playpen?
Besides, I’m pretty positive I’ve seen these photo three or so years ago on Facebook. . . and it wasn’t true then, either.
:)
LOL to post 51. That is priceless.
I don’t think it is a set up. I think the child was somehow able to pour it all over her front. I’ll bet her back is not painted. The arms show that she reached down into the bucket, leaving her shoulders and face bare. That is why only the edge of her hair is painted. You can see her artwork on the fireplace and her footsteps across the floor.
It is possible she got her small body all the way into the bucket. It is just as possible that she simply poured it down her front somehow.
LOL!!
Lighten up Francis. Who made you hall monitor?
