Stacking boxes

So the other night Geoff was out playing basketball with some neighbors. I stayed home because the girls were still awake (That's the excuse I gave, but really it was because "So you think you can dance" was on). Anyways, around 9:45 the girls had been really quiet for awhile so naturally, I thought that they were asleep. I decided that I would run over to the neighbors for a few minutes to see how the game was going.....well we got home about 5 minutes later and this is what we heard when we walked in the door....
Macie: "dad, I had an accident! come help me!"
So, we go up to her room, and this is what we see, Her standing against the wall all wet, next to her are 4 baskets that are stacked on top of each other inside her closet. When we asked her what she was doing, this is what she said...
Macie: "I was trying to reach the binkies" (which we keep at the very top of the closet)
She was trying to reach them because she found an old binkie holder (you know the kind that attaches to a shirt so you don't lose the binkie) and she wanted to attach the binkie to it. Needless to say, she was successful in reaching the binkies and she was very proud of herself.
For me, I was very impressed with what she accomplished in 5 minutes, but also a little nervous at what she was doing! I think that kids are a little to smart for their own good sometimes. I guess that I learned my lesson about leaving the house, even when it is quiet!!

Macie in wet pj's after her accident. She is also holding the binkie with the binkie clipThe stacked baskets and stool. Yes, the very top shelf is where the binkie was, I don't know how she even got it without falling.A closer look at the baskets and everything that came out of them.The stuff that was in the basket on top of the dresser by Addie's crib. Which she had to crawl into to reach the basket, then she dumped everything out into her crib, all without even waking her up!! Now that is what I call talant!!!
