It's always a risk when you decide to take a shower while the kids are awake. You have to weigh the pros and cons. Sure, you'll smell a little better, but how much of a mess are the kids making while you're gone? I'll show you! Despite my best effort at speed-showering, Madeline still had time to break into the cabinet and liberate half a bag of chips. She got the clip off, dumped them on the living room ottoman, and went to town chowing down. Please notice that Caleb is munching on a chip, too. This is amusing because the second I poked my towel-wrapped head into the room he said, "Oh no, Momma, Madeline got the chips out." Thus he tattled while eating some of the evidence.
On a different note, Madeline is now in her toddler bed instead of the crib. When we moved Caleb to a bed it took him months to get brave enough to get out of bed once we put him in. It was glorious. It took Madeline about 15 seconds to realize nothing was holding her in, and she's taken full advantage of it. Although she still hasn't realized that playing the toy piano is a dead give away that she's up. Heheh. Lately, we've often found her like this:
She loves to be rocked before bed, and she would prefer it if we'd just rock her until she was asleep each time. I don't want that to be the only way she goes to sleep, so I always put her in bed while she's still a little awake. Several times a week I'll go to check on her and find her fast asleep in the chair. She gets out of bed, grabs a blanket, and rocks herself to sleep. How cute is that?
Have a chip-filled sleep-tastic day!

That is the most precious thing ever! (Not the chip mess) Bless her heart. Seems like our babies are growing up so fast and then they go and do something like that. Gives us hope to hang on to their babiness.
That was too cute! I don't blame her for getting in the chair. Those are so comfortable!
