Mmmm....Good to the Last Drop

It is 10:25 a.m. and my daughter is still asleep! She went to bed last night at 8:00!! It's dark out and raining quite hard at times, so I guess it's soothing to her.

What's really weird is that last night, after dinner, she got into the trash (she thinks she's a golden retriever) and pulled out a filter full of coffee grounds. She then pushed her little, tiny hand inside the filter, filled it full of the grounds, and stuffed her mouth full. Yes, it WAS as disgusting as it sounds. Then, upon realizing that it was totally nasty, dumped the filter and grounds all over the kitchen floor.

Now, I know what you're thinking -"If you saw this happen, why didn't you stop her? How could you let her do this?" You have to realize that it took me 5x longer to write what happened than the real time of the event. It takes my daughter about 30 minutes to walk across an average room (ok...maybe a small exaggeration), but it takes around two seconds for her to get herself into trouble and make work for me to clean up. It defies all laws of time, but it happens on a daily basis. Really...scientists should study her...

So, back to what I was saying. She ate a toddler handful of coffee grounds, and all I could think later was -"Who's going to stay up all night with her?" But...no worries. She was asleep within 20 minutes of the incident, and has stayed asleep for over 14 hours. Maybe I should give her some coffee every night...(just kidding, mom -don't freak out on me!)
