LITTLE GIRL LOST & FOUND

Have you ever gone through that feeling of complete panic when you have "misplaced" a child? I had one of those days this weekend. We had had the garage and mudroom doors open as all the big kiddos were getting in the car. When Preston pulled out of the driveway, I couldnt find Kels anywhere, and she wasnt answering my calls. I ran outside in a panic, wondering if she had slipped out when no one noticed. I didnt find her outside so I started hunting inside again. As I started going room to room, I found her - playing in MY tub, perfectly happy and content! AAAAGGGGHHHH! WHEW!

I have been giving the little kiddos their baths in my room, as it has been easier than tromping everyone upstairs by myself. It is a special treat for them, and less clean up for me. We had left Kelsianne's new tub toys in the bath until I could get to them. Apparently she felt like she needed to get to them first. I am continually amazed at the places she can get herself into (and usually out of) - that same day she learned how to climb in AND out of the tub by herself, but got herself stuck when she climbed up on top of the dining room table and couldnt get down....
I was very relieved to know that she was ok, and will have to be more careful about keeping my bedroom door closed from now on.

I took this pict by pointing the camera at our mirrored closet doors. As you can see, I perfectly captured how very content she was.....my little Houdini in the making.....
I will have to find some time to get editing done on picts like this, but I just had to include it. Little miss felt content to play in the tub for quite some time. So I left her there as I worked on other jobs near by.
