“Marie, grab your camera. You’ve got to see this!” I barely hear from my husband at 4:45 a.m. His heightened tone drew me from my sleep.

I follow him to the kitchen to see this:

Kendall’s (3-years-old) snuggled on top of lovey (her favorite blanket) in the middle of the kitchen floor—surrounded by clean dishes from the dishwasher and every single item from our refrigerator.

We’ll never know what really happened.

Yes, we had a baby monitor. We never woke up.

Nonetheless, she left her room sometime in the middle of the night and partied in the kitchen ‘til she passed out.

Was she sleepwalking?

Why didn’t she come to our room?

What gave her the idea to get into this stuff?

We’ll never know.

The first time I shared this story on my old photography Facebook Page, this story angered another momma who questioned our parenting. “She could have gotten into all the sharp knives!!!!!!”

7 years later, she’s still alive 😉.

It was an unforgettable, one-hit wonder.
