This afternoon I was smelling something coming from Morgan's room. When I went to investigate I found Morgan covered in vick's baby vapor rub! She rubbed it all over her hands and feet and of course on her face. The fact that I was smelling it down the hall lets you know how much it was. Off she went to the bath tub. Only problem is, that stuff apparently doesn't come off easily. Kevin said he had to throw in some dawn soap to finally do the job.
A couple of weeks ago I saw Morgan looking through her books in her room so I went to do something in the living room. The next thing I know Morgan comes walking up to me and when I looked at her I was a little surprised to see something white all over her face. I could tell by the smell that it was Desitin. Again, off she went to the bath tub. (I have the feeling we will be having a lot of those impromptu baths)
When we moved into this condo the kitchen already had some baby proofing done so we haven't really had to do anything. The only thing is, is that there are some drawers that Morgan can get into. I haven't really worried about it because one drawer is full of table cloths and place mats and the one above is ziploc bags and saran wrap. Well, she has recently discovered she can open both of those drawers and has fun throwing everything out and climbing inside. I actually, don't mind the bottom drawer because having her entertained while I do some chores is worth folding the table cloths up later.
Here are some pictures of Morgan in action.
She also doesn't want to stay seated at church. She thinks she should be able to run around and scream and laugh. It doesn't help that she can see that some parents let their kids go out into the hall and play. I may seem strict, but I don't want her to think she can fuss enough and we will let her play in the hall. SO...she either can look at her books, eat snacks and play with some quiet toys and sit in the chapel or she can go outside of the church and sit on my lap the whole time. Today was the first time I really tried to enforce that and after a very angry tantrum, she finally calmed down and we were able to finish sacrament meeting sitting in our chairs. I know this will be a weekly struggle for a while, but as everyone says, "she's at that age."
