distraction

Julia was -hot tears, red-faced, could spit if she knew how- l-i-v-i-d when I wouldn't give her a 13th fiber gummy inarow this morning. Simon was trying to sleep upstairs and I was scared she might wake any other sleeping persons within a 15 mile radius of our cottage so, being the kind and patient mother that I always am, I turned on the adult tooth brush and let her go to hygiene town.

15 buzzy minutes later ...  her teeth, entire tongue, both cheeks, earlobes, 26 squares of toilet paper, and the right quadrant of the toilet seat were all deemed brushed and squeaky clean.

Oh, I'm sorry. Uninteresting?

Uncare,

Grace

    Dude, sometimes you do what you gotta do. I'm impressed she stayed interested for an entire 15 minutes! That doesn't happen often around these parts...

    Hahaha Loved the pictures, she's so freaking adorable. LOVED the note, laughed my butt off. That's one way to get the grout white.

    OK, the eyebrows in that last pic are hilarious!
    I think I might just go buy another spin brush to keep on hand for such occasions. Brilliance.

    hahaha! This is definitely interesting! I don't know what you're talking about! It's nice to know having a spinbrush will come in handy for more than just brushing my teeth someday.

    Oh my gosh, hilarious! That might be reason enough for me to start using an electric toothbrush.

    Ha, can I just say that you are hilarious!! I hate that I don't have time to drop by here regularly anymore. I just caught myself up on a whole bunch of posts and laughed outloud several times. lol You are such a great mom!! When I had a newish baby and was sleep deprived with a toddler, you didn't catch too many cute pictures of me laughing and smiling. =)
