A rare occasion and AGW's tragedy

We've had a bit of bad weather the last few days. So today we stayed home and did nothing. ALL DAY! This rarely happens and we definitely took advantage of it. After breakfast we sat on the couch reading and messing around on the computer. We did this until 11:30. That is unheard of! Then after lunch we were so exhausted from our laziness that we all laid down for a nap! Even AGW was still long enough to cuddle with us today. By 6:00 I thought I was going to go crazy though. Cabin fever set in for all of us. I learned today that I will have to suck it up if we go north and take AGW out in the cold. Otherwise cabin fever could be the end of me!

AGW may want to kill me one day for sharing this next little story, but it was the highlight of my day! Two nights ago she had a very traumatic experience: she pooped in the tub. Luckily, Carey jumped in and took care of the tub, toys, and turds and I attempted to calm a horrified little girl. She really didn't handle it very well at all. The whole event was:

A.) Shocking- she hasn't actually seen what comes out of a diaper

B.) Dirty- she is very much like her Daddy and a clean freak! She doesn't like anything on her hands, feet, ect so this was extremely difficult to handle

C.) A hard lesson learned about cause and effect.

Which brings me back to the highlight of my day. It was bath time again and I was really hoping she had forgotten about the tragedy. Instead, she wrapped every limb around me and clung to me like a monkey. I couldn't shake her loose. We eased into the tub and over-exaggerated the bubbles and toys to make it a positive experience. Finally, she relaxed... a little too much. All of a sudden she let out a scream and began panicking. I could see the horror in her eyes as tears streamed down her beat-red face. She had farted! That hard lesson on cause and effect was haunting her again and she just knew it would be floating up beside her!

Is it cruel that this was the highlight of my day? I hate that she was terrified, but I laughed until I cried and I'm still laughing now. It's all out of love for her though. My poor monkey girl. She may never take a bath again!
