perspective

for most of the day i knew that carter put a washcloth in the toilet after he went potty out of spite or jealousy or because he's two. after a considerable bout in the time out chair (for many other reasons related to the aftermath of the washcloth incident), carter showed me the TRUTH. he was using the potty like i asked him to do before our walk. he reminded me that he wasn't supposed to use the toilet paper because he wasted the entire last roll, and he had a dribble, and he wasn't sure what else to use to clean it up with. who knew the washcloth would fall in?

sometimes we need a little time out to get perspective on what we've done wrong. in this case the wrong person got the time out.
