The Mystery of the Missing Underwear

We had a rushed morning getting to church. Mostly because Mommy and Daddy stayed up way too late playing dominoes with friends and we did not want to get going this morning.

As I headed for a shower before church, I gave Layla her clothes and told her to be ready in 10 minutes. She did a great job with very little supervision. But, I had to laugh as she came into the bathroom and asked me if I had seen her jammie shirt, she was trying to find it so she could put her jammies in the laundry. She was looking everywhere before I pointed out the shirt was still on her! Then, in the process of finding her church clothes, she forgot the jammie shirt was still on and put her church shirt on over it.

When we got home from church, Daddy took the kids to the bathroom and to get their clothes changed while I started lunch. After going potty, Layla went to pull her underwear up and couldn't find them. She told Dave, "they must be in my jeans." She looked and no, sure enough, not in her jeans. "Hmmm, did they fall off me and out of my jeans at church?" She wondered out loud. Dave and I had to laugh, picturing this in our minds. Obviously, in the rush to get ready she had forgotten to put underwear on! But Layla is still sure she put them on and is still wondering where her underwear could be.

I love this picture of Layla. I took it a few weeks ago when she yelled from our bedroom, "Mom, get the camera and get in here!" I did and this is what I saw. She explained that she had been working on getting this pose just right and I had to get a picture of it. These are the little things that make me laugh. It's not the pose that cracks me up, it's imagining her, on her own, thinking about this pose, working on it and trying to get it just perfect.
