Let the dog in!

No nap today. She went in but did not sleep at all. I left her alone with the rationale that she (and I) would be having “quiet time.” Other moms get quiet time, why not me, too? Well, she was quiet in there, alright. After about an hour or so, I peeked in. What does Kid do with time to herself, you wonder? Read a few books? Play with her Numerous stuffed animals? Ha. Not my Kid. Too predictable. She pours baby powder all over her room, a whole container. She takes 4/5’s of her clothes off the hangers and dumps them on the floor in a pile (after the powdering, you wonder? yes, thanks), and lastly, she tops off the dusting with moisture by taking off her diaper and peeing on the floor. That makes a nice white paste, in case you are wondering. The powder was floral scented, so we had that going for us.

As if all that was not bad enough, in her climbing up the closet shelf (that is why the clothes were tossed, so she could grab the hanger rod), she could reach the Top Shelf. The Top Shelf where her dearly loved Neigh-Neigh’s backup twin resided. Contrary to outward appearances, I am not an idiot. As soon as she attached to her lovey horse, I obtained a backup, just in case this one is lost, run over, chewed up by the dog or lost at sea (we Do ride the ferry sometimes). I even secretly traded them out and washed them, so one was not “newer” than the other.

“I found Neigh’s friend, Mommy,” she says with a twinkle in her eyes.

“You what????”

She shows me two brown horses. But she was not traumatized by seeing Neigh and the anti-Neigh. They did not cancel each other out. She just happily hugged them both and started carrying them around together. Now, do I need TWO backup horseys???
