Slip and Slide

A pretty well known rule of thumb with toddlers is that if they're quiet, they're making trouble. This could not be more true of my sassy 22month old, Addie. She has recently taken to a naptime and bedtime revolt. She fights it with every ounce of energy she has in her tiny body. When I put her down for a nap the other day, I heard some chatter and the sounds of her pulling out books and toys to occupy herself. After about 15 minutes, everything went quiet, and I mistakenly thought to myself 'She ran out of steam and went to bed'. I decided to take advantage of two sleeping little ones and shower. Just as I was turning on the water, I heard frantic screaming coming from her room. I opened her door to find her sliding and slipping all over the place. Her hair looked wet. She had silently climbed into her closet, pulled out a 28oz bottle of baby body wash, taken off the plastic seal and dumped most of the bottle all over herself and the floor. I could not believe she managed all of this without making a sound. The body wash made the hardwood floors so slippery, she looked like a newborn calf trying to walk to me. She was panicked and frantic. I could not hold my laughter. Half of me wanted to run and get my phone to take a video. The other half knew she was probably going to fall and hurt herself if I let her carry on much longer. I scooped her up and put her in the tub. The upside is that her room now smells like soothing lavender.
