Got Me

Well, she got me again. I was SO sure she was in Cade's room playing. Cade and Sydney had been playing really well together in and out of his room for about 30 minutes when Cade came out to the kitchen and said he was hungry and wanted some lunch. Silly me, but I assumed Syd was still playing. I made and gave Cade his sandwich and then made one for Sydney and called her. No answer. So I went into Cade's room to look for her. No Syd. Not full blown panic yet, but I did run into Jill and Marcus' bedroom. Just as I was passing through the doorway, I got a strong whiff of nail polish. Ok, now I was much closer to the panic stage. My mind raced with thoughts like, "What was I going to see when I went around the corner into the bathroom???" I even visualized several possibilities. When I turned the corner, there she was, sitting on the floor, with her back against the cabinets, and painting her toenails! Well, actually, she had painted all of both big toes, which included the toenails. Did I run for the camera? You bet I did! She was still intently painting when I got back with Cade following close behind. And she was SO proud of herself!

You know, for a 21 month old, she did very well! Love, love, love this little girl!
