Yes, I’m having a slow day… but it’s almost time to go home when I remembered this really cute bath time story!
It was time to get out of bath, which she doesn’t generally like, and she decided she would get out of the tub on the condition that she could take her bath toys with her (squeeky toys that squirt water). We, of course, wanted those squeeky toys to stay in the tub so we could drain them and put them away. After getting several mad sounding grunts when I asked her to leave the toys in the tub, I got a really bright idea. Being the smart mommy that I am, I said, “Do you want Duck Duck and Bullup?” (previous post: that’s her duck that quacks & frog that croaks). She inhaled sharply, her eyes got big, and she literally threw the squeeky toys in the tub and was on her way to climbing out of the tub! It occurs to me right now that I’m not sure where Duck Duck and Bullup currently are… may need to find them tonight. Which leads me to the blanket story.
We thought we had a catastrophe on our hands Sunday… to the point that I was almost in tears if I stopped and thought about it. Her two favorite blankets, the one she came home in and a cloud blanket, were missing. Brian had look all over the apartment – I looked all over – we both looked all over again. No luck. We realized that we hadn’t seen them since I had left for the grocery store and taken the trash out with me. Yep, you know where it’s going. We were scared to death that we had thrown them away… that she had somehow managed to stuff them in the trash can (that was full, btw, and in a room that, normally, when she sees the door open to it, she closes it) and we somehow missed it. I was in another room thinking about it… Brian was watching TV with Taylor and thinking about it. I came in and was in the process of saying, “She’s put it IN something and we just don’t know what.” When he noticed the drawer on our coffee table wasn’t closed all the way. He went to close it and saw a little corner of cloth. Eureka!! She had put the blankets in the drawer. We are very thankful they were found.
And it’s time to go home now. B’bye!
