We were watching our neighbour's kids today - which meant there were six kids under the age of six in the house. The morning went strikingly well. However, there was one moment that was really worth recording.
About two hours after they arrived I decided to take a roll call. I could find everyone but Addie. 'Where's Addie?' I asked everyone. No one answered. All of the older five kids were downstairs playing in the main sitting room.
From process of elimination, I went upstairs to find her. The room to her door was closed. I pushed it opened to find her lying on her back with her thumb in her mouth, her meme(blanket) pulled close. It was obvious that she needed a break from the chaos downstairs. I just found it incredibly cute (and mature) that she had closed her door in the process. The little lady just needed some privacy and a place to chill! With two older brothers as crazy as she has, I don't blame her!

Oh if only you could have gotten your meme and joined her during her respite from chaos.
So cute! Sounds like she knows what she wants. A little introversion every now and then does not hurt. Runs in our family.
I'm glad she was able to find a quiet place.
