Angry Toddler Strikes Again...
There are days when being Gracie's mom is easier than others. Oh, its never hard to love her...but some days she makes it real difficult to make it until bedtime!
Today was another battle of the nap. I snuggled her as usual without avail. After about a half and hour I decided to put her in her crib. This usually ends two ways, she fusses until I come and get her and we try again, or she lays down and goes to sleep. I let her fuss for several minutes today, and when I went back in to ask her if she was ready to try and take a nap again...I found her covered from head to toe in diaper cream!!!
I guess the Desitin was too close to the crib on her changing table. She was angry for being put in her crib and angry that she had to take a nap. She had squished and squeezed that tube and the cream coated her hands, face, and shirt. Not to mention the crib sheets and poor Clifford. I took her straight in to the bathroom to clean up. Mother's note: if this ever happens to you--do not try to wash it off the child's hands with soap and water. This does not work. Use a damp washcloth and rub it off. It will take several swipes to get it cleared away.
I checked the tube and it says harmful if swallowed, but she had binki in her mouth and there were no traces of it in her mouth, but I am watching her carefully. I got her down for a nap after cleaning her up. So ends another adventure in mommyhood!
