The other day I was in the bathroom getting a shower. The baby was in the bouncy seat and Monkey4, the 2yo, was playing in the bathroom while I did my hair, etc. Something happened to upset Monkey3, the 4yo, and I went across the hall to sit down and hold her for a minute to calm her down. Not even 3 minutes later, we hear Monkey4 laughing. Monkey3 says "Mama, what's making her laugh?" and I said "I don't know, but we better go see!".
We walk in to the bathroom just in time to see Monkey4 walking away from the toilet with her daddy's deodorant in one hand and a streaming wet washcloth in the other.
I, of course, freak out! "YOU DON'T PLAY IN THE TOILET WATER! YUCK! NO!!!". I scoop up Monkey4 and put her right in the tub, strip her, and run a bath and start washing her. [That's her in the picture being washed just after the toilet water incident].
Then I turn around... and notice that all the walls of the bathroom are sopping wet - she's obviously been washing the walls with toilet water. [Her new obsession is trying to clean up all the crayon & ink she's written with all over our walls in various places!]
Then I realize my feet are squishing....because the carpet is SOAKED.
Then I see the baby.
The baby is sitting in the bouncy seat literally soaked - I mean *dripping* from her head to her feet. Monkey4 has obviously very tenderly cleaned her entire baby sister with this toilet water and wash cloth. The baby is soaked, her clothes are soaked, and the bouncy seat is soaked.
I go to pick the baby up only to realize that her entire head has been lovely and completely coated with her father's deodorant.....
Which is how my baby came to smell like my husband's arm pit. LOL!
The ONLY saving grace in all of this is that I had JUST cleaned that toilet very thoroughly right before I jumped into the shower [which is a freak occurrence, let me tell you LOL!]. So, at least the toilet water was "clean" ... or as clean as toilet water can get I guess. ;)
The thing that was most amazing about all of this is the time constraint - how on EARTH did this 2yo manage ALL of that in under 3 minutes?!!!

Kelly, I'm so glad that Amelia can't read. She would be so inspired by this account. I guess it is a good thing that you don't live in California. Those two could do a lot of damage if they were ever in the same place.
Crack me up, Kelly!!! I know, how do they get in to SO much trouble in so little time??!! This is an awesome post!
hahaha! This is so, so funny....Jack plays in the toilet too, but the worst he's ever done is thrown toys in there. :) heehee....she was taking good care of that baby, cleaning her all up and making her smell pretty! :)
I think it is so sweet. She was just trying to give the baby a bath!
