The energy a toddler has is never-ending.  And it isn’t a secret that if you leave them alone for five minutes, the mess they can create is bigger than a hurricane.  And if they are quiet, you know something is up.  Look what these toddlers did when their parents left them alone.

She is an interior decorator at heart, practicing for a successful career.  Watch out Joanna Gaines, competition is coming.

Maybe after a fun time at the circus with Grandma and Grandpa, this little angel had dreams of joining the clowns in the little car.

The man at the furniture store explained to mom and dad how the cushions can be fluffed up.  She was listening intently and wanted to help.

After mom finished with her relaxing bubble bath, the kids wanted to experience the same.  Maybe they also wanted to mop the bathroom floor also.

Maybe mom and dad were discussing painting the living room walls a different color and these two wanted a say.  But the television also?

After her mom binge watched the cooking channel, this little baker thought she would recreate what she saw on TV.  Just on a larger scale.

The kitchen wasn’t big enough for these two kids to fulfill their dreams of baking.  So they moved into the living room.  It will take more than just a vacuum to clean up this mess.

Remember the new makeup you just bought?  So will the family cat.  He doesn’t look happy to be made up.

This future Picasso felt inspired and created a masterpiece on the couch.  But look at that face.  How can you be angry when those big eyes are staring up at you?

After creating this disaster area, maybe this little guy is trying to convince his parents that taking a nap right now is a good idea.

The bean bag was sitting on the floor all by itself and it just exploded!  Or, did they have a bean bag fight and the bean bag lost?

Food coloring VS. Baby.  And food coloring stains!  I’m curious how long that mom remembered this incident!

You need to add butter to the grocery store list after this guy decided to baptize himself in it.  And the door, walls and floor.

It is called toilet paper and books are made out of paper so maybe it made sense that they could be flushed also.  I hope Dad didn’t have a magazine he was wanting to read.

While the looks on some kids faces show they know they have been caught, this little angel is proud of her creation.  What is funny is almost every other wall in the room was painted with chalk board paint!

The darling really told mom and dad what she thinks of her new baby sibling.  I’m guessing she was happier being the only child in the family.

Any child knows the benefits of diaper cream.  But this one wanted the benefits of the cream all over them.  Maybe a ghost costume for Halloween.

There is no question that this guy loves his peanut butter.  Peanut butter on a sandwich, peanut butter on his face and all over the floor.

Don’t think for a second that our little ones are not watching us.  This young one knew how to operate the can of shaving cream and gave herself a bath in it.

This may be a scene that has be recreated in every house that has a toddler in it.  Baby powder attracts toddlers like a magnet.

Media Source

You had the bills organized on the desk.  Maybe your homework ready to be completed.  Well, until this little one wanted to play king of the world on your desk.

Media Source

The best part about this is the third sentence isn’t completed.  While this little monkey was telling the world who they like, I’m guessing they got caught in the middle of the act.

Media Source

The look on his face is priceless.  He was having fun but he isn’t sure if mom or dad is pleased with his actions.  I’m wondering what his plans were with the dishwasher.

Media Source

While many of the messes a toddler creates can be cleaned up with a vacuum  and mop, this one will take some time.  The decision to give himself an inverted mohawk will require shaving the entire head.

What makes me laugh the most is the girl is wearing a diaper.  Can you imagine how much water that thing has soaked up?  A future marine biologist in the making with this little one.

For parents who still have toddlers, these pictures may not be as funny, because they are living it right now.  But for us parents who have successfully raised our kids passed the terrible twos, we can smile.
