That one time my life was like a sitcom...

Once upon a time I was cooking dinner, the big kids were happily watching a movie, and Finn was toddling around pulling things out of kitchen cabinets. I had a spare minute and noticed the odd quiet, the one moms everywhere recognize as trouble. Looking around for Finn, I can't see him anywhere. Walking past the bathroom, I note with my amazing detective skills that the door is closed and the "childproof" latch is in the locked position. I move toward the room where the kids are watching Mulan, and I hear his little voice and assume he is with them. Looking around that room, he is definitely not in it. *momentary panic* Hearing him talk again, I realize the sound IS coming from behind the closed and latched bathroom door... I open the door and there he stands drenched from head to toe holding a plastic cup from his aforementioned forage in the kitchen cabinets. With the toilet lid standing open and most of the bathroom very wet, I quickly gathered (I told you I had amazing detective skills) that he was scooping toilet water with his cup ALL OVER THE PLACE. A quick peek in the toilet and I see that Gage hasn't flushed. Again. So not only is there toilet water everywhere, there is pee toilet water everywhere. *cue womp womp music* I peel his clothes off and put him in the tub while frantically trying to dry/clean the bathroom. Meanwhile, the broccoli roasting in the oven is getting too toasty and the smoke alarm starts going off. *cue laugh track* Addie had to get in the tub to watch Finn so I could deal with the broccoli and quickly drain the pasta as it started to boil over. Bleah. It doesn't sound nearly as stressful written out as it was at the time. :) Saving grace: it was only pee water and not poop water. Needless to say, it bought the little hellion some time in baby jail.

Pouty face for being imprisoned

I can only guess that the bathroom door was not fully closed and he was able to push it open and shut it behind him. He's lucky he's adorable. Time for wine.
