Ratted Out

The record should show that Matilda engaged in her first instance of tattle-taling on Saturday. In this case she was reporting on Grandma Marge, but I am sure she's just honing her skills for Porter. Matilda and Grandma had gone off to the bathrooms at the park, mid-picnic, to take care of some business. As they returned the first thing Matilda said was, "Um, Mama, Grandma Marge put a baby wipe in the toilet." (This is significant since we have a no wipes in the toilet policy in our household to spare the plumbing.) 

The funniest part to me is that she didn't say a word to Mom as it occurred, just silently watched and filed the information away. That's really the trick is that she never misses a thing & is always testing the boundaries lately - girl is too smart for her parents already, especially the new sleep-deprived parent-model.
