Sugar and Spice

The child cheated me out of my nap today. She fell asleep in the stroller at the gardens at the zoo, slept all the way home, then promptly woke up just as a placed her in her crib. What the...?! What is this?! Awake?! No, no, no!!! For me, there was no nap. Later in the afternoon, I placed my head in my hands and drifted off for what must have been all of three and half minutes. I woke with a start to find crayon scribbles all over the sliding glass door...baby located on the other side of the room playing inocently with blocks. (See the defeated look on my face.) Is it possible that she knew I wasn't paying attention? Could she have said to herself "Ah, look, Mommy has lost consciousness. Now is my chance to comit devilishly sly antics which is are quite contrary to my normal character." Surely this is what motivated this sudden outburst of creativity. She's an opportunist and an artist to boot...an artitoonist. Fortunatley, she's also a mimic and helped me wipe the window clean. Nutty.
