When I woke up Tuesday morning to the sound of birds chirping, I thought, “This is the beginning of a beautiful day!” Then Brooks did THIS with his yogurt:
Sneaky little tyke! Funny little guy! Darling little rascal!Off to the bathtub we went, and then on to the rest of a wonderful day!
Then Brooks did THIS:
To elaborate on what occurred during the ten minutes prior to this picture being taken, Brooks (and an adorable neighbor friend who shall remain nameless) emptied out the contents of his dresser plus two baskets of toys. Next they pulled down the “window treatments” (some blackout panels with a little farm scene on them—that’s what those bluish rectangles are). Here comes the really fun part: Brooks and his friend took an entire tube of Desitin and squeezed and smeared the contents onto all his earthly possessions. And themselves. It was not pretty. Nor was it funny or darling. But it WAS sneaky, and it WAS rapid, and it WAS infuriating!After taking the little neighbor back to her parents with a hair-do that resembled one from a Cameron Diaz movie (SO SORRY, neighbor friend’s parents!!!), I put Brooks into the bath again, started wiping down his room and toys, and started loading the first of many piles of greasy, creamy, whitish laundry. On the bright side, four days (and several MORE baths) later, Brooks still has very soft skin, and everything he owns has a nice powdery smell.
