For Christmas, Jacob got me a gift certificate to get my hair done. Christmas Eve day I left at 12:45 for my appointment. I had just laid Oni down and Jacob was taking a nap. I let him know that I was leaving and that he should listen for Oni.
I got back from my appointment at about 3:00 to find Oni by herself in the living room amongst piles of unrolled wrapping paper, empty spools of ribbon with ribbon strung all over the house - down the hallway, into the bedrooms. She also had out several tubes of chap stick and markers - all uncapped and lined up in a neat row. She unwrapped several presents and unpacked stockings.
Mama: "What are you doing Oni?"
Oni: "I got bored."
Mama: "Did you sleep?"
Oni: "Yes, for ten minutes. Then I got bored."
Mama: "Why didn't you wake up Daddy?"
Oni: "It didn't work."
Thank goodness I had the foresight to block off the kitchen so at least she didn't have access to anything too horrible.
