When you start talking to other parents about kids they always say something along the lines of “Wait until they can crawl, you can’t turn your back for a second then!”. But of course, I don’t listen.
I was filling up the bath to get Lucie ready for bed and I’d stripped her off and was letting her crawl around in the nuddy for a bit. She crawled through into the bathroom and then pulled herself up and stood by the bath. I then noticed a wet patch by the bathroom door and a few drops leading down the landing so I grabbed a cloth and scrubbed the urine out of the carpet.
I then turned round to find Lucie urinating on the bath mat and then lifting her foot up because it was wet. Arse, I thought and went to clear that up as well at which point I slipped in another pool of urine and nearly went arse over tit.
REALLY DON’T TAKE YOUR EYES OFF THEM!!!!
Heh. My daughter Emma’s version of this, a few months after she started walking, was “Me draw like Mama!”. “Drawing like Mama” consisted of picking up a felt tip, wandering over to the computer, and raising the pen ready to draw. Mama uses a graphics tablet. A Mac Pro tower, a felt pen, and a toddler do not constitute a graphics tablet.
By the way, I found your site through Joe Williams… and Lucie is adorable. Keep up the good work
I like it!
I have no end of problems with the Little One and laptops. They don’t mix….
