Apr. 22, 2009 - Responsible Ian
Yesterday, while I was quietly shut in the laundry room, I heard Tommy ask Ian to watch Katherine for a second. Really all Tommy expected was for Ian to make sure Katherine didn't participate in her new favorite sport ... stair climbing. So, while I was folding shirts I heard her little pitter pattering and anticipated her little knock on the door, instead I heard something very scary. Silence. Complete silence. Then I heard Ian say, 'Katherine? Katherine? Where are you already?" He was so certain that she was going to try and climb the stairs that he had camped out on the bottom step. Then when she didn't come he started looking for her. I was just about to come out and join the search party when I heard Ian say, "KATHERINE! Do not play in the potty!" Then he whispered under his breath, "I'm s'posed to be watching you, don't play in the potty"
Then he carried her into the kitchen and started playing a game of blocks with her.
It was so funny to me. The way he said it was hilarious like, "Hey, you can play in the potty ... just not when I'm supposed to be watching you!"
I love my Ian.
