Lil' Greaser

Excuse our dirty bathroom!!
Vaseline all over his shirt too!

Today, Bradley was pleasantly eating his pancakes while I was toasting a bagel. A few minutes later, I noticed that he had disappeared from his pancakes. I found Bradley in our bathroom. He had opened our bathroom drawers and found a large jar of vaseline. This was pure petroleum jelly...very greasy stuff in SMALL quantities, but even worse if it is used the way Bradley used it. He had only been alone with the vaseline for about 3 minutes, but he had had enough time to rub it ALL over his head, his arms, his legs and his hands were just goops of vaseline. He had even rubbed a HUGE amount of vaseline into our dark brown bathroom rug. And, he was quite proud of himself. He thought he had done a good job. He knows we use vaseline on chapped lips and chapped cheeks and he thought he was helping. It was a huge mess, but I had to smile at how proud of himself he was. The biggest problem was that it's not easy to get vaseline off. I wiped off as much as I could and then I put him in the tub. I bathed him and got most of it off, but his hair looked a little bit greasy today and wasn't sticking up every which way like it usually does when it's clean. Silly boy!!!
