The only rule we try to drill into Maia's head is: "No creams, lotions, powders, or soaps!" (We've had to reinforce this rule many times after seeing toys and books covered in such substances.) A couple weeks ago I had removed all such substances from her room but I forgot about the brand new 16 oz. jar of Butt Paste left in her changing table drawer. Later that week I found the whole pound of cream on her legs and on the floor. I was furious!!! I decided to take a picture anyway because I thought I'd laugh later. I'm still wondering when I'm sincerely going to laugh.
Maia thought this was another cute photo moment.
Then she heard me talk.
Then I think it registered. She was very bummed that we had to throw her piggie shirt away. Today she reminded me that she only has piggie pants because the "piggie shirt is ruineded."
Note: Butt Paste does not come off with water. It's extremely oily. Paper towels are your best option to clean off children, bathtubs, carpets, etc.

i see from the pictures that you were not at all exaggerating about this story. a picture speaks a thousand words. although i'm sure i would've said a few in my head not appropriate to mention here.
i love you emmers. you're such a good mommy. we're all just trying to do our best and give our kids a little boost. we're all in the same boat. and in our boat we have one rule: "no creams, lotions, powders, or soaps!"
Oh Emmers! She was just having a little fun. You can't get mad at her for that :) I can't wait for you to have two little girls getting into "creams, lotions, powders and soaps!" That will be great! Or maybe they will move on to bigger and better things like an entire bag of flour. Yeah for kids!
Eeeeek!!! My kids have made their share of messes, but this is one of the most incredible I have seen! All I can say is, it's a good thing she's so cute.
