Adam and Eve and a little stinky girl

So I got home from work on Thursday only to be created with a bit of a lie. Mom had already prepared me with the story, but I let the one involved tell me what happened.
The story begins 2 days prior. Anabelle had the privilege of sleeping in Chloe's room. It is always fun because Chloe has a lot of books to look at and has a lot if stuff Anabelle can get into. When she got up from her nap mom noticed red all over her shirt. Anabelle had an acceptable answer for it and they went on with the afternoon. So now we skip forward 2 day. Chloe came down stars with a toothbrush covered in red. She said it was in her bathroom. Mom took it and began to wonder. She went up to the bathroom and looked around. Then she saw sticking out from behind the toilet a little hand. She pulled it out and found this



This is Chloe's DeeDee doll from 1 year old. She loves her. She has been everywhere including Disney World!!! Ahhhh.
So I get home prepared for this. Mom takes me into the dim laundry room where a lifeless DeeDee lies. She calls Anabelle in to tell me what has happened. Slowly Anabelle silks in. Her head down with her protective warn pink silky clamped in her fist and her soothing sucking of her thumb, barely peaking out beneath her silky. I point to the doll. Anabelle begins to tell me she "didn't mean to." I said,"you didn't mean to ruin something or get in trouble but you certainly did mean to put lipstick on the doll.". Of course I asked her why and she really didn't have an answer because she was just being Anabelle. The first thing I pointed out to her was that she had disobeyed Ninny by not staying in bed and napping. Th second thing was that she shouldn't have ruined another person's property. If someone had done that to her pink silly I am pretty sure that we would need therapy for months! She seemed to understand. Then I said that the worst thing she did was try to hide her sin. Later we talked about Adam and Eve and how they tried to hide from God after they ate from the tree of knowledge. Anyway, at this point I made her go get Chloe to show her what she had done. In fear she did. I was proud of Chloe because she didn't flip out like I though she would. But she was very sad. She sobbed. She was crying the ugly face cry. When you are so sad your face just looks terrible. We went through the I am sorry for, asking for forgiveness, accepting forgiveness and remembering when we forgive we don't continue to bring it up again and again. Chloe said she wanted to be alone so she went into my office.
About then the phone rang and it was sweet LuAnne Ivy from church about volunteering. I asked her to call me back in 3 minutes.
So I went back to Anabelle and told her that she has officially lost the privilege to nap in Chloe's room. That hurt pretty bad. Them I told her she needed to pick her punishment. She tired to go easy on herself. But I gave her 3 options and she choose to not get a book that night. That is a big deal in our house. So I love on her and am about to answer the return call from LuAnne when..............
Laurel comes flying out of the office screaming, "Chloe just throwed up!!!". I run in there and her lunch is all over the floor. I looked at her and asked her if she was ok. She starts to gag and points at Savannah and yells, "mustard!". I look at savannah and grab her because she is about to dive into lunch!!! I smell her and realize she has a horrible diaper running down her leg!(tmi). So I ask Laurel at get some towels and tell Chloe to go into the bathroom. She holds her hand up that looks like she slapped it in mustard and starts to gag again. I can't help but laugh as I take stinky pants into the other room. Yet again another teaching lesson. I get done with the little red stink bomb and head back to Chloe. I start cleaning the office floor and say," do daddy and I ask you not to pick her up all the time? And when we break a rule, we are open to something possible bad happening. That is a consequence. And that is why you got poop on you and threw up. ". At that point I laughed and so did she. I got back to the phone and returned the call I think I gave Luanne a good laugh. My kids love tacos and usually I don't hear a peep out of them if we are eating them. So like an good mother I made tacos for dinner!
