Lesson Learned:

When your toddler picks up your perfume to "pretend" to spray it, make sure she isn't strong enough to actually spray it.



While I was chatting on the phone with Gramma Kathy today Addie E. sprayed a squirt of Amazing Grace directly in her eyes. I have flushed her eyes, and tossed her in the shower for good measure, but nonetheless her eyes are bloodshot and her cheeks red. She fell asleep wrapped in her towel, on my lap, snuggled under my favorite leopard print blanket, which she told me was soft just like a kitty. And then she started snoring...



So I've Googled perfume in the eyes and been assured, via the Internet and a brief conversation with my mommy, that Addie will be fine. That she's not scarred for life and that I am in the running, once again, for Mom of the Year award.

I heard you were in the lead for Mommy of the Year.

(My application was rescinded this weekend when the committee discovered that I asked my husband to purchase real make-up for my girls. Just an FYI...apparently ages 2 & 5 are too young for unsupervised make-overs.)

Oh, this is a good contest. My three year old just colored with a pen (that I gave her to help keep her quiet) at a store on their display. Mother-Of-The-Year...
