What J.J. decided to do instead of nap today

So today, after church, Johnny and I were trying to catch up on the most recent episode of Last Comic Standing. We'd gotten about halfway through it when we heard J.J.'s door open, signaling that he was up from his nap. This is a usual occurrence, so we didn't think twice about it. We did, however, think it hadn't been long enough, so Johnny suggested going in to check his diaper and see if maybe he would lay back down. This is what I was greeted with:




He looks a bit...um....shinier than usual, wouldn't you say? At first I thought it was sweat...that he had gotten really hot. Then my mind switched to water...maybe he'd gone into the bathroom and we just hadn't heard the water running. Then I saw the glop on his face next to his eye and it hit me: it was Vaseline! Yes, that's right....Vaseline! (I guess technically it's just petroleum jelly since I never buy name-brand medicinal items)

We were laughing too hard to get mad at him...I tried to upload a video so you can see the extent of the "oiling" his room and he both got, but alas it didn't want to upload. You'll just have to use your imagination, I guess.

Just thought you all might enjoy a little snippet of what it's like raising a 2 1/2-year old boy! I called my mom and she said, "Hmmmm...that sounds a lot like the baby powder incident." I have no idea what she's talking about...something to do with me giving a nice dusting (read: dumping an entire bottle) of baby powder all over our coffee table, the floor and me.

Haha!!! He is very shiny. Apparently my friend and I also dumped a whole bottle of baby powder all over my room when I was little. Not dumped, per se, but squirted it out everywhere so it covered everything! Haha.

Anyway...yes...nice I would call it emerald green carpet with nicely matching wallpaper. It's pretty sweet. The landlord will rip it out after we move out.

Yes please come visit and bring your cute family!
