Life with Adelie

This morning after church, I was upstairs changing the sheets for laundry day while Zach was starting lunch in the kitchen with the girls.  Adelie was playing with letter magnets on the refrigerator while Staley was standing on her big (2-step, ladder-type) step-stool at the kitchen counter helping Zach mix the pancake batter.  Staley needed to use the bathroom, so she climbed down and headed into the bathroom.  She called for Zach to help her get onto the potty.  By the time Zach returned to the kitchen (30-40 seconds later), Adelie had abandoned her magnets, climbed up Staley's step-stool, and was standing on the top step of the stepstool, a measuring cup in each hand, playing in the pancake batter.

And that, my friends, is life with Adelie.
