Sweetness

May 30, 2006 by Kathryn

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.

    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?

    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!

  8. Queen Beth says

    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.

  11. Lilly says

    May 31, 2006 at 6:38 am

    That’s very sweet even though she had plans of her own while you slept.

  12. Shannon (Sentimental) says

    May 31, 2006 at 7:14 am

    How sweet even though the ending was a bit rough!

    Adorable!

  13. Tigersue says

    May 31, 2006 at 7:18 am

    Oh that gave me a good chuckle. Kids, got to love them.

  14. Cheerio's on my butt? says

    May 31, 2006 at 7:23 am

    Sooo sweet yet soo funny! Dontcha love being a Mom? Such a rollercoaster ride of emotions! No wonder we feel crazy!

  15. Addie says

    May 31, 2006 at 7:25 am

    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?!?!

  16. Tess says

    May 31, 2006 at 7:41 am

    I had an actual tear well up – and then I read ‘bathroom.’ wha?????

  17. Alissa says

    May 31, 2006 at 8:32 am

    classic bait and switch… you thought you were getting a angel child…

  18. Stephanie says

    May 31, 2006 at 8:35 am

    Isn’t that just total motherhood? Cute kids and then big messes made by said cute kids.

  19. Kristen says

    May 31, 2006 at 9:00 am

    That is too sweet….and too funny!!

  20. HLH says

    May 31, 2006 at 9:04 am

    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.

  21. emlouisa says

    May 31, 2006 at 9:07 am

    Awww…at least she kissed you first.

  22. Heidi says

    May 31, 2006 at 9:13 am

    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.

  24. Mommy off the Record says

    May 31, 2006 at 10:13 am

    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 🙂

  25. Artemis Rich says

    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.

  26. Eli's Mom says

    May 31, 2006 at 10:58 am

    Sweetness x 10….

  27. Mama Darlin' says

    May 31, 2006 at 1:06 pm

    Ah motherhood….who needs amusement when we are supplies with our own three ring circus and rollercoasters.

  28. Nettie says

    May 31, 2006 at 2:19 pm

    How sweet, and yet soggy, is that! Kudos to Dan for catching it quick!

  29. utmommy says

    May 31, 2006 at 4:16 pm

    Kids can be so sweet, yet so much trouble at the same time. Gotta love ’em.

  30. Caryn says

    May 31, 2006 at 7:03 pm

    Oh, that’s so precious! Well, except the bathroom flooding part. Love how you sneaked that in there.

  31. No Cool Story says

    May 31, 2006 at 7:36 pm

    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.

  32. Shan says

    May 31, 2006 at 8:46 pm

    Too funny!

  33. ABC Momma says

    May 31, 2006 at 9:51 pm

    So saintly, yet so evil.

  34. shannon @ rocks in my dryer says

    May 31, 2006 at 9:58 pm

    OH, I’m just warm and tingly all over.

  35. The Flip Flop Mamma! says

    May 31, 2006 at 9:59 pm

    Awww…that is so sweet! Not the flooding part, that’s funny!

  36. Naddin J says

    May 31, 2006 at 10:57 pm

    Heh heh heh… did you dream you were floating down rapids?

  37. theresa says

    May 31, 2006 at 11:00 pm

    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?

  38. QueenMeadow says

    June 1, 2006 at 11:40 am

    How sweet is that? and sneaky all at the same time 😉

  39. Maine Mom says

    June 1, 2006 at 1:31 pm

    That was so sweet of Laylee, and so clever of her to get back at you for pretending to be asleep 🙂

  40. Heather from One Woman's World says

    June 1, 2006 at 10:29 pm

    So SOOOO tender until the bathroom moment. I love it.
