It's Friday, my day off and my favorite day of the week for several reasons. I usually like to try to relax on Fridays, but that doesn't always happen. After a little laundry and cleaning, I entered the girl's room to pack a bag for their sleep over tonight.
It's funny trying to pack for them, they usually do it themselves. I find myself trying to think like them - what pajamas would they like, what clothes for tomorrow and most importantly, what stuffed animal to take. Ellie's pretty easy. She's predictable. She'll want the usual, and on top of being predictable, she neat, so I knew right where to go to find all of her stuff.
I've finally figured out what to pack for Avery, minus the stuffed animal. She rarely sleeps with the same one. So, I sit on her bed and evaluate what she's got. If any of you know me, you've probably heard me talk about Avery's bad hording habits. The kid can stuff things in places you'd never imagine and with such quantity.
I begin to pull things out of the SMALL gap between her mattress and the wall. Here's a list of what I find: one small quilt, one small fleece blanket. a stuffed dolphin, Minnie mouse, dog, and teddy bear. I found two pull ups - one clean, one used (Gross, right?). Two pajama tops, one bottom and tons of popcorn kernels (they aren't allowed to eat in their rooms....).
She'll probably be very upset that I unearthed her stash, but come on. A used pull-up? That's nasty.
