On my toes

Jaxton sure does keep me on my toes! "Relaxing" is definitely a thing of the past. Even when he is taking a nap, I am running around looking for things he has hidden, or cleaning up the mess he has made.
So a few weeks ago, I laid him down for a nap at the usual time, hoping he would go right to sleep. Kyle and I had a meeting at his work and I hadn't showered yet. I went downstairs to get Paisley to sleep (which is a much easier task) and to pick up the house. About an hour later I heard a crash. Jaxton has tipped over Paisley's dresser a few times and that was the first thing that came to my mind. I booked it up the stairs and opened the door, but I didn't see Jaxton. Then I heard a small giggle and I looked up. There was Jaxton, on top of Paisley's dresser, COVERED in Desitin. Being the sucky mom I am, I told him not to move so I could run downstairs to get my camera... he loves having his picture taken, so he didn't mind. He was SO pleased with what he had done. I got him undressed and into the tub... I called everyone I knew that might know how to get all the Desitin off of his body and out of his hair. I washed his hair 8 or 9 times, and nothing worked. I tried dish soap too, but it didn't work! Kyle's cousin suggested I used baking soda... it took 3 washes but it came out about a week later!
There are times that this kid drives me crazy... but I love him so much and he keeps a smile on my face! I can't help but laugh when I look at these pictures!
