Fool Me Once, Shame On You; Fool Me Twice, Shame On Me...

My dear little Kaleb is the mischievous one in the family. Grace has had a couple moments here and there but nothing like this guy. Well this week tops it off so far. No major damage done, just a major pain.


Yesterday Adam and I were reading Breaking Dawn (loving it by the way) waiting for Kaleb to wake from his nap. When 4:00pm rolled around and he was still quiet we decided to check on him so he wouldn't sleep too long. We had a work steak fry to go to last night so I jumped in the shower to get ready and Adam went for Kaleb... He got down on his stomach and peaked under the door (this is how he checks without waking him), he didn't see any feet but he got a strong whiff of something. He jumped up and hurried in to find he wasn't asleep, and he was covered in thick white goo. He had gotten into the Desitin ( a diaper rash cream) and rubbed it ALL over his right leg, thick, and his hands, clothes and floor! Adam brought him into the bathroom and I poked my head out, shocked. Kaleb wasn't quite sure what to make of our reaction. Of course we weren't happy about it, but we weren't really mad either. Adam left him on the counter so not to spread the mess and grabbed the camera for pics. Then he passed him off to me to scrub down. Now those of you who have had experience with Desitin will understand what I mean when I say water resistant. That stuff was not coming off. I had to use our regular bar of soap, not baby wash, and then it still came off only in layers after who knows how many scrub and rinse patterns I went through. I did forget to mention, in Kaleb's defense, there was good reasoning to his madness. When Adam undressed him, he did have a stinky diaper and a bit of a rash. SO he was just trying to help, right?

"Hmmm, maybe that wasn't the best idea"

Needless to say we put that tube far out of site and reach. I also went to the steak fry smelling like it and our load of laundry that was washed with his clothes all smell of it as well. Lovely.

Ok, so that was pretty crazy but we're not done yet, oh no that would be too easy... So today I noticed that Kaleb was quiet too long after he should have been awake... Oh ya, you know where this is going... so I walk in his room and he had found another tube of Desitin!! I had no idea that there was another and didn't think to tell Adam to check when he put up the first. UGH! At least this time the floor wasn't smeared with it and he didn't get it on as thick. Must have caught him sooner this time. He didn't have a poopy diaper either, so this was just for pure enjoyment. Only he was NOT happy about me cleaning him up this time. What a little stinker. But it still makes me laugh. I know I did plenty of that sort of thing to my mom too. Yes mom, it's all coming back on me. On the flip side here are some sweet moments from my little handful of trouble...

Loving my friend Rachel's new baby, Jason Glad. He constantly wants to hold this guy. It's so cute how into babies he is.
