Life of a mother

Wow today started off with a bang! I was up stairs with Aiden trying to get him to go back to sleep for a little while, Kael and Emma were downstairs watching cartoons like good kids (I thought). I started to smell the bum cream that we have. Someone gave us a giant tub of it right after I had Aiden. Emmas new thing is making her mom crazy! IE; last week I was giving the kids cough medicine I just finished giving Emma her meds and then I was getting ready to give Kael some I set the open bottle on the counter for a second to give Kael his medicine, meanwhile right behind me Emma grabs the bottle and starts chuging it as fast as she can! I just couldnt believe it! We called poison control and everything was ok the little stinker! Than two weeks before this Emma and Kael were out side at my parents house and I go out there to get them to take them home, and I notice that they had pulled out some mushrooms that were growing out back. On mushroom looked funny though it had bite marks all around the edges. Who do you think ate the mushroom? If you guessed Emma you are correct!!! AHH she is just such a little pill!! Needless to say I have poison control on speed dial now because of her. Well she survived the mushroom incident. But today I carry Aiden downstairs to check on the kids and I notice Emma in the downstairs bathroom covered in the bum cream!!! The consistency is not creamy at all though it is more like a vaseline! All over her hands her clothes her hair! I look on the rug and it was all over she decided to get Aidens formula and mix that into the bum cream it was all over our tv all over my walls! Just imagine very thick vaseline all over your tv or on your walls, just super thick! That was how it was. Now I am a mommy that believes full heartedly in spankings let me tell you she got on for the record books today! I was just furious! I try to clean one room or thing a day as not to get overwhelmed by the whole giant messy house, and today was going to be the bathrooms. But instead it turned into cleaning up this gross vaseline like mess all over my living room!! Needless to say I got the mess cleaned up little miss Emma had to help me clean up the whole thing. I also got all the bathrooms cleaned as well. now that my house is clean I can kind of look back and laugh, but not really. By the way the bum cream wasent just lying out on the floor. It was put away in the cupboard with all the diapers and pullups. That little girl is determined to get into every possible thing she can!!!

Oh my gosh!!! I am so sorry. It sounds like Emma and Chloe are 2 peas in a pod! Chloe has done the cough syrup thing also! So far no mushrooms, but she did get into nail polish about 6 months ago and painted her arms, hands, legs, feet, the rug, the stool, tile, and cabinets. Luckily nail polish remover got most of it off. I can't imagine the bum cream! What a mess that must have been. It would take me awhile to be able to laugh at something like that! Good for you for making her help clean up. Next time get a picture before you clean her/it all up so that when you can laugh at it, you will have a picture to remember it!

I know I was telling Heather about it last night and she asked the same thing. She said next time take a picture then get mad. I will try to remember that! (:

I'm not quite sure it is with kids and lotions - but it seems to be one of those things you just know they are going to explore. That and feminine hygiene products!

Fun to find your site!
