This morning I woke to the slight sound of Clara's door closing, which isn't a big deal because she can use the bathroom on her own now. But over the next twenty minutes I heard Clara's door at least five times, but I never heard her. I have no idea what she was doing, and as long as I could keep sleeping and she didn't wake Kate, Clara could spin from the ceiling fan for all I cared.
Occasionally when Clara is supposed to be sleeping Megan or I will see an eye peek around the corner at us, but we never hear her coming. This afternoon, as both girls were supposed to be napping, I went into the kitchen to get a drink and was startled to see Clara standing there silently, like one of the children of the corn, but with an embarrassed smile.
Me: How long have you been there?
Clara: Ummm... 8
Me: 8?
Clara: Yeah, 8.
Me: OK.
Sneaky little rascal.
Just to give you an idea of how sneaky she can be, she's in the picture below (and no, she's not the smiley girl in the middle - that's Kate.) See if you can find her.

That is so funny... you actually beat me to this post. I was about to write the exact same thing, but about Justin. He is allowed anywhere too, and can get up to go potty by himself. The other morning, I heard the door close to his bedroom... but that was it. Apparently he went downstairs to play with legos, then went the bathroom, then came back up & went to bed. I only figured it out by the trail of toys & clothes! Sometimes I wake up in the morning only to find him standing in front of me staring at me. The other day he was tapping on my head! And I am the lightest sleeper there is.
These kid Ninja's are eveywhere... watch out or they'll get you when you least expect it.
Hi-ya!
The sneaky thing that REALLY gets me, is when you wake up and they are just standing there next to your bed. Silent. Staring. Unmoving.
(shudder)
Olivia does this too! I go upstairs and I think she has been napping for say the last hour or two and then I see evidence to the contrary.....band-aid wrappers all over the hallway floor, her hair bows in the bathroom, her skirt in MY room! What in the heck has been going on up here?!? Then I look in her room and she IS asleep....or is she? weird.
