I thought I would share one of my recent not so good surprises with you....
A couple of weeks ago I was busy feeding Ben while Maggie and Connor played down in the basement. Not long after I started feeding Ben the other two ventured upstairs and into the bathroom. A minute later I asked what they were up to. Connor's answer was, "playing in the water" and Maggie said, "we are making blue water". Honestly this was not a big red flag for me for two reasons. One being, the kids play in the bathroom sink all the time. This really isn't a big deal in my opinion and they don't typically make too much of a mess. The other reason it wasn't a red flag was that Maggie has a wonderful imagination.
They played for a bit and then left the bathroom. I totally forgot about them being in the bathroom and went on with my day. It wasn't until about an hour later when I went in to use the bathroom that I found this.......
Oh, WOW! Paint! Dishes! Towels! Wash cloths! Hand soap! Blue water! WOW! Maggie was telling me the "truth"! They were making blue water! And actually with the mix of the blue paint and the yellow soap they also made green water!
So, what was my reaction? Well.... OK.... Guess we better clean this up.... Glad it wasn't an even bigger mess because it could surely have been a complete disaster.... Good science lesson.... Let's ask mom next time so she can supervise a bit more.... My days are never boring....
