My senior English teacher in hs told us of a similar incident in her home: she had been busy fixing dinner when she realized that her 1yo was very quiet (always a giveaway for trouble). She went to check on him in his room, where he had been playing very happily. He had emptied an economy size bottle of powder onto the carpet, and then emptied an economy size bottle of baby lotion on top of that. He was busy making his own “playdough,” working it nicely into the carpet. Such an enterprising child. He probably has his own Fortune 500 company by now.
LoL! :) Hm, I have had the powder and the lotion incidents both, but I guess I can count my blessings that they were separate incidents and not combined! :)
The other day Jaeger decided he needed a little lotion on his hands and absolutely smeared his hands and arms with half a bottle of petroleum jelly…then went around his room playing with his toys.
Yup.
This house has all hard floors on the main level; such a nice change from a rental with carpet everywhere!

ROFL! Yep, been there, pulled my hair out!
