One morning Payton asked if she could color with a pencil so I got her a sheet of paper... not out of the ordinary. Then she asked for some sticky tape. This is where I got interested. I asked her what for & she said that she had a sign for her door. I asked her what it said... ready for this... it says "this room is for teddy bears & babies & Paytons only". Yes folks, 3 years old & we have our first Keep Out sign.
Before we go to bed we always check on Payton. Usually we find her in her bed but this particular week she was all over the place.
The next night I went in to find her bed like this & no Payton... anywhere. I looked quietly at first & then turned her room light on. Still no Payton. I checked the bathrooms & our bedroom. Donald by that time was helping in the search. So when she didn't turn up anywhere I went back to her room for one last look. I don't know why but I decided to look in the closet. I tried to open the door but couldn't. Yes she was in there sleeping in the narrow space between the door & her bookself. It took a little bit of time getting the door open because she was leaning against it but we were finally able to get her out after a few minutes. I couldn't believe that she could sleep there & that she fit. She didn't even wake up when we moved her into bed.

Okay, I would have been bawling if my kid wasn't in there room the first time I looked. Especially if I lived some where crazy ... like Pasadena, CA. :D
Yeah I live in the jungle! :)
Jenn, Payton is so dang cute! How do you keep up with her? Hope you are feeling well and having fun!
So much personality packed into that lil' body! I loved this post....I think Sienna will be following in her independent footsteps.
