Here’s some recent artwork from the boys. Miles drew his first people! Quinn wanted to know why their arms are coming out of their heads. Not too supportive, but at least he recognized them as people! (Sorry for the less than stellar scan quality.)
And here’s Quinn’s drawing of baby bear (the one on his blanket):
Comments rssThis is what a 14 oz. jar of Aquaphor lotion can do in the hands of a 3-year-old (for those of you unfamiliar with Aquaphor, think Vaseline):
This is the only evidence of the mess I have left – the timing of the incident didn’t allow me to take further photos (we had to get to the bus stop!) Not sure if you can see how gooped up the jar is, but trust me, it’s a mess! The rest of the mess included the sheet and most of the blankets (of which there were at least 5) on Miles’s bed, as well as all of his clothing including his sodden socks. Thankfully he avoided most of the stuffed animals! When asked what he was doing, he responded: “I’m putting on lotion, Mommy!” And yes he was – a half inch layer from his toes all the way up into his hair.
I spent the 10 minutes I had before we had to run to the bus stop peeling off his clothes and using paper towels to pull some of the goop off him. Then I tossed him into clean clothes and we sped off to the bus stop. Our next stop was the playground where he proceed to get lots of wood chips stuck in his hair since it was still goopy! When we got home he got tossed in the shower and then I threw everything in the laundry. While he was getting his pj’s on I discovered that the front of his bed was goopy and some of the floor was still goopy, but that baby wipes work very well on Aquaphor! Finally when I thought everything was all set, I tried to leave the room and realized that the doorknob had a half-inch coating of goop, too!
What can I say, I’ve got the most lubricated child on the block today!
