Just a spoonful of sugar...

This morning I was presented with a small dilemma. I needed to check my facebook messages before Evangeline's nap time. Yes... that was the 'dilemma'. Now, I'm sure many of you are rolling your eyes at me thinking, "For Heaven's sake... that doesn't qualify as a legitimate problem." Well, I guess I would agree, but at the time it was an impossible situation. You see... the second Doodle sees me get my laptop out, she goes into this panicky frenzy. She's obsessed with watching videos of her friends on facebook... so, needless to say, when Doodle is awake... the computer stays in hiding.

Anyway... I planned ahead for today's facebook encounter. I let Evangeline 'wash dishes' in the sink while I checked fb. I made sure she had a sink full of plastic dishes and lots of soap... and let her go to town. It seemed to work out quite nicely. I had some computer time... and she had some 'creative/messy' time.

As I finished up and went to the kitchen to check on her... I find her sitting on the counter beside the sugar bowl. Now I bet you can just imagine my dear little Evangeline dipping her little finger in the sugar to get a sweet, little taste.
No, not Doodle. She managed to find a huge spoon and was eating the sugar by the spoonful.
