Not The Luckiest Day

This boy is 2 years and 4 months old today. While he was supposed to be taking a nap, he found a big jar of Vaseline and smeared it all over his wall, his clothes, his face and his hair. He worked it in pretty well and I'm not sure when it will all be gone, from his hair especially. The clothes may never recover... we'll see. Fortunately, his mother still loves him.

Happy Friday the 13th.

Thompson did this to Forrest at about this age. When we discovered him, he gleefully said, "I doing it!"

I can't remember how many shampoos it took before Forrest's hair looked normal again.

Awesome, I love boys. I think he was just trying really hard to get the spiky, crazy, hair look.

Oh boy! Can't say I've experienced the Vaseline thing, but I do remember Sara taking a black Sharpie to herself, her bed, her walls, her toys and her little baby brother (Josh)!

Thank goodness you took a picture!

They give us so much ammo for those embarrasing stories when they grow up, don't they?!

I just have to smile...because we're in the midst of the 'two's' too! Tristan's latest is when Ethan leaves the bathroom door open and gleefully playing dinosaurs in the toilet...joy!! Your little one looks so sweet...I bet you can't stay upset too long :)

Shells: all he accomplished was the slicked-down greaser look after I got done with him. He had 4 shampoos today, with more to come. He's sleeping with a towel on his pillow tonight. Icky!

Joy: I just barely remembered before I took that slimy shirt off.

Jan & Scott: Ha! It's all funnier when it's someone else's kid! Dinos in the toilet...:) You're right. I couldn't, although I was annoyed at cleaning up that kind of mess. I've been finding it all day on doorknobs, baby gates, etc. Fun! I was over it by the time Q got home, so it was funny to see his face when I casually explained the reason for the state of his son's hair. :¬)

Holy. Cow. I don't know what I would have done, but I doubt it would include having enough foresight and sense of humor to take a picture for the blog. Go you.

I myself am guilty of doing such a thing at about that age, though I compounded the problem by working in copious amounts of baby powder and then working the whole mess not only into my hair but into the lovely late 60's/early 70's shag rug. There might be a photo floating around out there...
