Take yesterday morning, for instance. I heard someone making noise in their bedroom so I went in to check on them. Gus was up; Gibson was fast asleep. Since only one kid was awake, I didn't go through all of the normal morning rituals. I just got Gus out of bed to change his diaper, after which he pointed and told me "uh-oh" about all of the following:
- The humidifier was in their room (I usually put it away in our bedroom when they get up)
- The sound machine was still plugged in (I have to unplug it and put the cord up or else they yank it down on their heads)
- Gibson was asleep
- The playroom doors were closed
- The light was not on in the kitchen
Good grief! They also like to say "uh-oh" about these things:
- The curtains are closed
- Any light is off
- Their shoes are on the floor, rather than put away in the cupboard
- They drop anything, whether accidentally or on purpose
- They spill something
- A door is open/closed when it shouldn't be
I'm glad to see they have developed such good attention to detail. Now I think we should work on being a little flexible with our environment...
