Full disclosure: Susan was not home for dinner this evening. It was just me and the kids, eating some skyline late. Susan was at a Willowsong meeting.
Rose had been exploring the kitchen, as she usually does. She likes to pull all of the dishes out of the cabinet, or just cruise around and look for stuff to play with/eat. During our meal I had a moment of panic when all of a sudden I realized that I was not sure where Rose was.
Me: Where’s Rose? [Looking around in a panic.]
Mari: She’s under the table eating noodles.
Sure enough, she was. We try to limit what she eats, but she does not have any self-imposed limits. Also, we try to keep the floor clean, but we also have 5 kids, including a 3-year-old.
1 of 5. She has to learn to look out for herself.
