What is a normal day for us? Well, at some point it usually includes something like this:
Hayden completely covered in something.
Here his hair and hands and face are covered in soap, and that is a streak of lipstick on his head. At least it made for easy clean up, besides keeping it out of the eyes.
The other picture is of dry erase marker, this was one of about 3 times he covered himself in it. I didn't even get a picture of the nice spiral circles he drew on his tummy. It was lovely.
This usually happens because I have to step away to fix dinner, take the time to go to the bathroom, or just run into another room maybe for only 60 seconds. He then disappears and has some fun.
I can not believe I don't have more pictures. I do have one missing I know I have of Blue marker all over the bathroom wall and door.
Some of the other things may include But are not limited to: Vaseline
, Mom's foundation, globs and globs of mouse and hair gel, Butt paste, lotion, and if he is outside, dirt, mud or sand. Those are probably the top of the list.
There are many times I did not get pictures to my regret. The latest happening actually occurred while we were all still asleep early in the morning. He found a cover girl outlast lip gloss and put it right across his eye brows. That stuff does not come off!! It was Sunday morning before church. Nothing worked. eye makeup remover, I tried Vaseline that did a little bit. I finally went to my neighbors house who came up with the idea of using Redken Glass smoothing serum.
Stuff you use on your hair? But, It worked! It came right off. No trace left. Amazing. So... I guess if you want to fork out $15 for a 2 oz. bottle or so it can be doubled as a face
cleaner. A little goes a long way. I wonder how it would work on fabric?
A good little mom trick. You have to get creative sometimes when
it comes to cleaning of little children.
Here is a great example of being sneaky right in front of me! I was just on the other side of the door as he was asking for something to eat. I did not hear him get up there in the 30 seconds it took. He just started asking for help.
He keeps us on our toes.
At least I know he is not the only kid out there like this. I am afraid there could be worse. I feel sorry for that mom that I do know of. :)
These are perfect examples of times he asks my feelings about what had happened and it goes like this every time in a very questioning voice....
"Funny? Angry? Happy? Sad?"
I love to see that he is so in tune to feelings and wants to know how I feel. Although a lot of times in the end he tells me "Funny!" With a nod of his head for approval.
