Scroll down to the post entitled “Baking 911.”
Replace the mixing bowl with one purple permanent marker.
Replace the grinning toddler with her annoyed, bottle-of-bleach-and-scrub-brush-wielding momma.
For every day a different scene!
Lots of Coffee, lots of kids. It's a peaceful life.
Hi there!
Do you know you have made my morning AND reminded me of days to come. I seem to remember a morning greeted by my two toddlers of yore with 5 packs of cinnamon gum, two new tubes of lipstick and an entire box of bandaids. No bleach necessary. I did, however, still have to remove bandages carefully wound around the bars of a certain offenders crib as late as our move to Texas, several months later.
Welcome to my world! I can’t tell you how many times I have cleaned marker, crayon and yes lipstick off of our walls. I have been doing this regularly since Amy was 1 year old. I couldn’t believe it when my first did it, now with the fifth I am far less shocked, although still very frustrated. Are we really going to miss this? Yes!!
I am not, however,going to miss the piles of you-know-what left on the floor. I am so…weary of Camille and her diaper fixation.
I reckon Our Lord got tired of His cross, also.
Margaret,
Have you considered duct tape for Camille’s diaper? My sister had one like Camille – that or put the diaper on backwards so she can’t pull open the tabs.
Love,
Cathie
Margaret, a onesie, turned backwards solved the diaper problem with one of my toddlers. I do not know if Camille is at the age to be learning the toilet, (in which the onesie would be counterproductive) but if not, it is worth a try.
