At naptime, (and I use that term loosely, since more than not lately it's run around like mad and yell down the stairs to Mommy time rather than sleep peacefully and nap time) but I digress, recently we have used a timer to let Molly know when she is finished being upstairs and can come back downstairs....Yesterday it worked like a charm! Today however was a different story! She was so excited to go upstairs and "nap" until the timer went off, instructing me on exactly which timer to set and where to place it so she will hear it when it goes off. However just when I sat down on the couch and gave a sigh of relief at the peace that was my house, I hear little footsteps descending the stairs, a tell tale squeaky door knob turn and the immortal words of Mad Molly "Momma, close your eyes, I have a surprise to you" Curious to see what this surprise was and not wanting to crush her enthusiasm I played along and close my eyes. A few minutes later I hear "Ok, Open your eyes, SURPRISE!!! Now you can help me put it together" to which I find Mad Molly holding a put together Lego-esk Elmo figurine. So I say to her, "hey, wait a minute....my surprise is I get to put your toy together when you are supposed to be upstairs napping" through much giggles she replies "ummm, yes!"
Merry Christmas!
