This morning, I was surprised to find Ms. P asleep on the couch under a blanket (the one that we all fight for when we're downstairs - it's definitely everyone's favorite blanket!). Here is the conversation that followed:
Me: What's going on? Why are you on the couch? (and wondering how long she had been there)
Ms. P: (in a very serious voice) "Mom, we have a problem. My bed is totally broken. It is totally ruined." (totally is one of her favorite words right now)
My mind was racing...trying to figure out what was wrong with her bed. I had visions of it being soaked...she just recently finished up potty training (day & night - yippee!) and so I was imagining having to wash a bunch of wet bedding/comforters/pillows/etc...and praying that the vinyl mattress protector was actually on HER bed and not accidentally on one of the OTHER kids' beds.
When I got to her room - I was pleasantly surprised at the VERY EASY fix I had ahead of me! And also laughing at her interpretation of a "broken bed". It also made me feel good to see that to Ms. P, a bed with the blankets and pillows piled on the floor in a heap WAS a "problem" and something that most definitely needed fixed! Tidyness is starting early!! Hooray!! :)
