Incoherent Nights

Ellie has always had trouble waking up completely at nights. She is just like her father, confused and disoriented if ever woken up. So, this has been a problem with night time trips to the bathroom. She usually wakes up screaming because she knows she needs to do something, but she doesn't know how to. So we yell down the hall, "Ellie go to the bathroom!" and that usually helps her.

So, last night I was sitting on the couch watching some TLC and I heard her get up and I thought she was getting a drink in the kitchen but as I looked back I saw this...

Yup, she thought my dining room chair was the toilet, and that tinkling noise I head was not her spilling water on the floor!!

Ha, ha, ha! I am still laughing! It probably wasn't too funny at the time, but at least you snapped a pic! That's a good story...

I fear such a thing EVERY night, but with my hubby and the corner. Do you need my child gate for the future? Then you could just make a path to the bathroom--no detours.

That is so funny...though I'm sure you were shocked when you saw it! That is so neat that people have been there to help like family..the Lord watches out for us doesn't He? He blesses those who serve Him.
