Cleaning the Bathroom

So I had to leave my two-year old upstairs in my bedroom to run downstairs when my cell phone rang. I took my time downstairs since I didn’t hear any complaints about my absence coming from upstairs. But after a while it was almost too quiet so I headed back up. When I got back my daughter was gone. Then I noticed that the bathroom door was shut, and we always leave it open. So I opened the bathroom door and it was pitch black inside. I couldn’t open the door very wide since something was blocking me. So I snaked my arm through the opening and flipped on the light. The view I got was Laelia’s “caught” face, which, if you’ve never seen it, is hilarious. The next thing I noticed is that in the dark with the door shut, Laelia had managed to open the bathroom cabinets and pull out a giant box of Q-tips–like an economy, Costco-sized Q-tip box. Both little fists were filled with Q-tips, there were Q-tips all over the the floor, and another few piles in starburst patterns inside the cabinets. There was a paper towel roll we keep in there for cleaning the mirrors that had every single one of the paper towels pulled off and crumbled up around the floor. My personal feminine products were in similar disarray. And in the middle of the giant mess was my frozen solid little girl, still clutching her Q-tips and looking like a deer in headlights.

So I walk into this scene and all I can do is stare in amazement. Laelia had managed to scoot in there, shut the door, open the cabinets and wreck havoc in the space of ten minutes! Wasn’t this girl suppose to be disabled?! I starred at her in shocked amazement.

She stared back, completely guilty and quickly responded, “I kweening it up.”

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I haven’t laughed so hard in forever! Oh thank you little girl for helping me clean the bathroom! Haha! Why oh why don’t I have a picture?!! Boohoo. :)
