This evening, about 45 minutes ago, we had what probably qualifies as our first major overnight 'incident'. Claire's had an upset stomach all day. She did a great thing. She got up after midnight, got herself into the bathroom, and mostly got everything into the toilet. While bathing her, she had the following insight.
"Daddy, I got almost all of the pieces. I wiped them myself"
"That's great Claire. Good job. Which piece did you miss?"
"The piece on the floor"
"Oh, I see"
There was a long pause, and she continued
"Daddy, how did it get on the bottoms of my feet?"
You can fill in roughly how much fun we've had tonight. :) As incidents go, this one was pretty well contained on the tile. Lots of little footprints, an earnest attempt to clean everything up on her own, and two proud sleepy parents that she did so much by herself, even if we did need to scrub up a few foot prints.
