Laura, nap time is NOT art time.

Well, another adventure in parenting. This afternoon I put Laura down for nap. She wasn't especially tired, but she knows the rule is she has to stay quietly in her room. She can read books, tell Bunny stories, or rest, as long as it is quiet.

After a while of quietness, I peeked at Laura expecting to see her cozy up to her pillow and bunny. To my surprise she was very diligently working in the corner of her room. Painting the carpet. With poop.

Dad: Laura, what are you doing?
Laura (Innocently): Playing
Dad: What are you playing with?
Laura (Less innocently): Poop.
Dad: Are you supposed to touch your poop?
Laura: No...... Laura go on timeout chair?
Dad: Yes


(1 diaper change & 2 minutes later)
Dad: Laura, do you remember why you got a time out?
Laura: Because I was playing...('The Smirk' coming on, and very emphatically) with my poop.

Emily did most of the cleanup and I finished off the stains. I think it looks pretty clean.
