Where do I start? Finley went pee in the potty and decided to empty it herself. She tripped and ended up dumping her pee all over her, Penelope and the floor. I undressed both kids and cleaned up the pee on the floor while Finley went upstairs to get new panties + clean clothes. This is not unusual as she normally dribbles on her underwear and/or clothes + needs to be changed so away she went. I was feeding Penelope lunch when I realized she'd been gone awhile and it was very quiet in the house. I yelled Finley and she let out the loudest scream as I walked to the bonus room and this is what I saw...
FIrst you must notice the repairs along the wall. Finley ripped out what was supposed to be a childproof gate. Anyways, you can see that Finley is covered in diaper cream. I rarely ever need diaper cream because Penelope usually wears cloth diapers. However, this morning she woke up a diaper rash.....please tooth fairy just give us those damn teeth and go away....3 months of teething for 2 teeth is ENOUGH but I digress. I usually keep diaper cream high + away from Finley as she had a similar incident on her 1st birthday. I changed Penelope and then I took the girls outside without giving it a second though.
I have no idea what happened for this to occur in the fashion that it did. Not sure if she knocked if off trying to get panties or a diaper for penelope. I have no idea and unfortunately she is no help.
And of course it had to be the super expensive $20 for a tiny tub of cream that is super thick and medicated for situations like Penelope. It took forever to get off of her, the floor, the walls, the carpet, the banister and her hair.
I gave her a bath where she screamed as I scrubbed and scrubbed and scrubbed at her skin. I then had to wash her hair 2x much to her dismay to get the diaper cream out of her hair. After brushing her hair I noticed that she still has cream in her hair, scalp + hairline. She looks almost albino. It was not and still isn't a pleasant situation.
I currently have the clothes in the washer with hopes that they don't stain her dress (which is brand new), my dress or any of the towels.
Adding to this already stressful situation is that I forgot I was feeding Penelope lunch and needless to say she was not happy about not getting her lunch. I handed her the spoon and bowl and she then dumped it everywhere.
Thankfully Penelope goes for her nap soon and hopefully Finley will behave because she knows how mad I was about the whole situation. It will be Greg's job to wash her tonight because I am pretty sure I have traumatized her into hating bathes and water again.
Oh my word! The look on Finley's face is too funny (in both pictures)...is that wrong that I'm giggling? And I only laugh because I KNOW Katelyn is going to be in similar situations!
ReplyDeleteOh that sucks! Sometimes being a mom is so gross and messy.
ReplyDeleteWow, I feel tired for you! Can't help but laugh though. That stuff is hard enough to clean off of a baby butt, can't imagine getting it out of hair. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThe good news is that this cream is up to 18%zinc; germ killer.The bad news is that it's very oil based. I guess I'd use pure kitchen detergent on the hair and skin,washing it off the skin fast and applying organic baby lotion or lacking that a bit of vaseline to soothe the skin. Dress her in very old pj's so nothing else gets oily. Poor you. As if you didn't already have buckets to do. Latter on, you'll laugh at the pics.
