Those Special Moments

There are precious moments that you will always remember because they made you laugh, they made you cry, they made you angry. Chloe was in the bathtub playing, being so content to play by herself. She was doing all the cute kid things that you love to hear: she was singing to herself, playing nicely (no yelling, sliding around the tub :) while Jeremy and I were in the other room. Don't freak out- we check on her frequently! But the final time I went to check on her I was quite startled at what I found. [Chloe has these little color tablets that turn her bathwater colors. Tonight happened to be blue.] Our bathroom floor was covered with an inch of blue water! My initial reaction was anger/irritation. But as Jeremy and I were mopping up the floor it started to become humorous. I told Chloe it was time to wash her hair and be done with her bath. I soaped up her hair and reached for the cup to rinse the soap out. But, the cup was nowhere to be found. "Chloe, where is your cup?" With a straight face, sincere answer she says, "It's in the toilet." Just like that. It's in the toilet. As if to say, duh, where else would it be? I lifted up the toilet lid and inside my now blue toilet there was Chloe's pink cup. Apparently she tried to fill the toilet with blue water. I really tried to retain my stern demeanor but eventually we were laughing at how ridiculous the whole situation was.
