last night tom and i were chatting in the kitchen.. just enjoying a few minutes with no kids around and actually able to finish a sentence.. then we hear water.. and just the sink – odd.. normally at 10:30, you hear a flush followed by hand washing.. interesting.. then we look at each other and say “emily” at the same time.. she is such trouble.. constant.. so we make our way up the stairs to find emily on top of the vanity.. WIDE awake..

“i wash them all up”

and not even the slightest bit afraid, worried, concerned that she is totally supposed to be in bed asleep.. she knows – with all her heart that her daddy will see her and think she is cute and laugh at this..
