Thing One and Thing Two

Last night after the most surreal bath time ever -- me and Merry in the tub, Lucas sitting on the toilet doing his business while we discussed the merits of getting Ambrose a fighting track for the mechanical attack hamsters that his grandma brought them on her last visit for his birthday -- we put on our pajamas and snuggled up on the couch to watch a cartoon before bed.

Merry got up and wandered into the kitchen and started rustling around in the drawer that we keep all the plastic kid-safe dishes in. I didn't interrupt or ask what she was doing because I'm trying to encourage her to do more things on her own and I was assuming she was going to get herself a drink of water.

A few minutes later she came back with a blue plastic cup. Of wine.

1. I am an awesome mom.
2. Boxed wine is so convenient even a 3-year-old can help herself to delicious adult beverages any time.
