Vaseline

Alright, I'm not sure what to write about tonight but am feeling the need to write. I guess I'll share some of the silly story's from my girls.

Tonight I'll tell you about the Vaseline. Yes, I said Vaseline.

My two year old was having a rough day, she was not agreeable at all from the time she woke up that morning. She had bit her sister, trashed the living room and pulled the cat across the room by his tail. I had had enough I was desperate to get something down around the house. So i put her in her room with the gate up in the door frame. I had gotten, or at least thought I had gotten, anything that could be messed up or harmful out. I went back down stairs and started picking up the living room and cleaning the kitchen. I could hear my baby laughing and playing; everything seemed fine, and calm. I had even sent her older sisters out to play. When she became very quiet for more then a few minutes I started getting a bit nervous. My mother sense was tingling,(its a bit faulty at times, or it would have tingled sooner). I marched upstairs to check and to my horror all was not so fine. I had Left the Vaseline on the dresser and she had climbed up and gotten it. Apparently she was very concerned with her skins dryness, because she had striped down naked, (no diaper either), and coated herself hair to toes in a thick slimy layer of the stuff. To top of her adventure baby wash didn't work and I was out of Dawn. I had to bring her to my friends house ask for dawn and help holding her as I washed her. Its now a funny memory but at the time had me crying, and embarrassed. My sweet little girl stayed happy the whole time though slipping out of my fingers and trying to streak away. In the end it took twelve baths over five days to get it all out of her hair, using Dawn of course. it reminded me of those Dawn commercials where they wash the seagulls. Ah childhood, always so much fun.
