the dryer

dear isla,
yesterday you followed me into the laundry room as i was switching a load from the washer to the dryer. i had the dryer door open in order to accomplish my task. you decided to find out what happens when you close said door. after the initial delight of discovery, you attempted to open the door again. my guess is that you wanted to repeat the process, because that is how fun it was. when the door did not open you became upset, and because i was trying to transfer more clothes, i showed you how to open the door. this was as much for my own benefit as yours. however, immediately you closed the door.

and despite the powerful banging you inflicted on the door, it did not open. and, you were mad.

i enjoy watching you figure things out about this crazy world we live in.

xo,
mama
