Clean up, clean up...

Jane was in her room supposed to be going to sleep for her nap today. She normally plays with her toys for a while before she falls asleep. She has a little kid desk in her room with a humidifier sitting on top of it. I've caught her role playing rescue scenes with Marge, Homer, and Lisa on the humidifier/mountain. It's usually kind of a noisy thing. So today I wasn't worried about all the clanking I heard or the talking, until I heard a desperate, "Mommy!" I went into her room to see what she needed and what I found was the humidifier halfway off the desk and leaking all of its water onto the carpet. What my mom noticed was that Jane had a line of wet tissues next to the puddle. She had been trying to clean up the water with tissues. I couldn't be mad once I saw that. She was too sweet and knew she needed to soak up the water. I must admit that I have been staring at that humidifier thinking I needed to empty the water out of it, but never acted on that thought. The Spirit does speak to us, I'm just a little too slow all too often. I just thought I would share our fun little story. Needless to say, Jane did not wind up taking a nap today. She did get to bed a whole lot earlier though. Little blessings everywhere. What a day!!!
