Day 18 - You Can't Let Them Out Of Your Sight

I lost Summer for a minute...I was sitting at the kitchen table coloring with her and she got up and ambled off...I was trying really hard to stay within the lines so I didn't immediately notice.

After a few seconds I noticed I was alone and coloring a Strawberry Shortcake picture...

I call out for her once.

Nothing...

I call out "Summer?" again...

Again, no answer...

But I can hear a clicking noise...

I get up and go into the living room calling her name...And there she is with her back to me at the couch and I can tell her little hands are at work.

As I get about 3 feet from her she turns and I can see her Bubbletape Gum container in her hand and an ENORMOUS wad of the gum in her mouth...I don't know how she got it because I put every one's gum on a high shelf yesterday...I'm blaming the CEO and CFO on this one...

Because, as I've previously said, my number one priority is to make sure I keep these kids alive I made her spit the gum out into my hand.

Awesome.

To be nice, I rip a smaller chunk off her gigantic chunk and give it back.

I have put the gum back up with the rest...I don't want a repeat of yesterday when Owen's gum somehow ended up on the carpet under their play table...
