This morning I was awakened by Laylee. She crept down the hall to my room and slowly opened the door. Hoping she’d go back to bed, I pretended to be asleep. With much effort, she hoisted herself up to stand on the box spring so her little face was level with mine.
Then she did what I do every night after she falls asleep. She kissed me on the forehead and whispered in my ear very softly, “Mommy, I love you. Have a nice dream.”
She then climbed down, crept down the hall and flooded the bathroom.
i can your blog be better? in a word no.
Sly girl–she was trying to disarm you with her charm so you’d let her get away with playing in the bathrooom!
How many towels did it take? And you did maker HER clean it up, right?
Mary
oh I miss her!!!
Guess what!! I applied for two jobs in your area today!!! and it’s with the company I already work for!!! I’ll keep you posted 😀
That’s precious, soggy bathroom and all.
Oh, I was already for her just to tiptoe away and leave you in bliss, but no, you had to add the last line… life is funny, Kathryn… and so are you!
I was just about to cue the cheesy music too!
That is so cute!
How adorable! Well, all except the bathroom part. 🙂
I’ll have the dungeon, complete with shackles ready for her when you get here.
That’s classic.
That’s very sweet even though she had plans of her own while you slept.
How sweet even though the ending was a bit rough!
Adorable!
Oh that gave me a good chuckle. Kids, got to love them.
Sooo sweet yet soo funny! Dontcha love being a Mom? Such a rollercoaster ride of emotions! No wonder we feel crazy!
Oh my goodness! That punchline came out of nowhere. I was all wooed by her loveing gesture and DID NOT expect that!
Thank God there’s no inspections on that house, huh?!?!
I had an actual tear well up – and then I read ‘bathroom.’ wha?????
classic bait and switch… you thought you were getting a angel child…
Isn’t that just total motherhood? Cute kids and then big messes made by said cute kids.
That is too sweet….and too funny!!
aren’t they amazing sometimes?
PJ will come into my roon and whisper to no one in particular that we need to be quiet because mommy is sleeping.
Awww…at least she kissed you first.
Loved it!
Kathryn, was your back drop photo taken at Shilshole? I get back to Seattle every year or two (grew up there) and I always schedule time to go there.
The new background picture is from Whidbey Island.
Oh, and Dan heard the water running and got in there before any damage was done. Luckily that man’s more alert than “some people” in the morning.
Just wanted to say that I’ve been poking around you blog a bit and I love it! I have a baby around the same age as your Magoo. I’ll be back if you don’t mind another reader 🙂
This is exactly why I want to put a drain in the middle of my bathroom. It hasn’t happened yet (my girl is just *this* close to walking) but knowing her prediliction for water it’s only a matter of time.
Sweetness x 10….
Ah motherhood….who needs amusement when we are supplies with our own three ring circus and rollercoasters.
How sweet, and yet soggy, is that! Kudos to Dan for catching it quick!
Kids can be so sweet, yet so much trouble at the same time. Gotta love ’em.
Oh, that’s so precious! Well, except the bathroom flooding part. Love how you sneaked that in there.
If I was ever going to —not that I was, at all- ponder this question: I wonder if DYM can ever have a tiny little post AND still surprise to the point where I’m thinking ‘she needs to be crowned the Supreme Blogger of Blogtopia’? , I’d have to say no, wonder no more. Your blog rocks and you know it.
That’s all.
Too funny!
So saintly, yet so evil.
OH, I’m just warm and tingly all over.
Awww…that is so sweet! Not the flooding part, that’s funny!
Heh heh heh… did you dream you were floating down rapids?
ROTFL!! I was all…awwwwww, and then BAM out of nowhere, I was like wha??? That post is priceless!
P.S. At least it wasn’t in the new house right? Or, was it?
How sweet is that? and sneaky all at the same time 😉
That was so sweet of Laylee, and so clever of her to get back at you for pretending to be asleep 🙂
So SOOOO tender until the bathroom moment. I love it.
That was awesome. One of those short excerpts that describes parenthood prescisely.
