the other day, i was in here on the computer trying to get some stuff done after Cruz woke up from his nap. what i thought would take a couple of clicks of the mouse turned out to be more of a process. after completing my task, i went to check on my curious toddler. he wasn't in the livingroom; he was in the kitchen. i walk in and catch him over near the water cooler with his hand pushing down on the cold water lever. the floor was soaked beneath his feet. a puddle of water went from the wall to under the oven and covering half of the kitchen area.
"Cruz," i say in a fairly calm tone, "don't touch!" startled, he jumps and turns away from the water cooler as i approach closer. upon further inspection, i find my diaper bag on the kitchen floor in front of the dispenser. i pick it up and watch the water stream out of the cloth outer lining.
now i don't know about the rest of you moms, but my diaper bag is my purse and all of my personal items are carried in it. important items like my LifeDrive, digital camera, sun glasses, bus card, etc. are inside. fortunately, the inner liner kept everything inside dry, so no harm done.. thank goodness! i turned on an episode of Blue's Clues to keep Cruz's attention while i went about cleaning up the rest of the mess in the kitchen and salvaging the contents of my bag.
so yeah, good times! check on your kids and check on them often, i think, is the lesson here.. lol ;)
we had a water cooler situation one day my 2 yr old wanted to get a drink of water and i was out doing some shopping my husband was gonna have a fast shower put on dora to keep her busy anyway our cooler is the type if you leave the button down it will stay she got her water left it down and walked away 18 liters of water on the ground my husband didn't know what to do. so glad i was not there for that mess. we can laugh about it now.
