A Mess Worth Saluting

Wyatt bequeathed a strange and wonderful gift on us last night.

As I walked to the top of the stairs to watch Lost with Noah, I said to him, "What is that wonderful, fruity smell???"

To which Noah replied, "I don't know, but it does smell good."


Fast forward to 40 minutes later during a commercial break.

After realizing what the smell could be, I rushed upstairs in a frenzy but found myself pleasantly surprised.

I would like to take a moment to point out Wyatt's proficiency in mess making.
Not only was the smell of the shampoo so blissful to the sniffer (which made cleanup enjoyable), it was a very well-crafted mess (if you could even call it that).

To compound the greatness, was the ease and stealth in which he committed his act. We never heard a sound. So, we were able to relax and not have to holler, "Hey, get back in bed." No, he let us dawdle along in our contentedness. That's professionalism.

A large portion of the goo was directly in the toilet, with only a smidge of it actually on the seat. How thoughtful!! Let's be honest, if anywhere on your body needs a refreshing smell, the hiney-fanny just might be it. We did wipe this up though because you don't want any slide-age on the throne. Not good. (look closely for the thin pink layering)

The best part was that most of the stuff was IN THE BATHTUB!!!! What a gentleman! All I had to do was turn on the shower head to rinse away the mess.
There wasn't even a drop of it on the floor.

He was stealthy, thorough, and thoughtful.

And that is why I commend you and salute you as Most Respectable Mess Maker of January 19th.

Thank you, Wyatt. Thank you.

He should give classes to other kids on being so thoughtful in their mess making. I would pay for Benji to take them.

This reminds me of the song,"Oh, I wish I were a little bar of soap." "I'd go slippy and I'd go slidey right down everybody's hidie, oh I wish I were a little bar of soap." You have to sing it with a lisp though. Good ole girl's camp days!

Hi Katie! Your blog is great and your kids are so cute! You make a great mommy! How nice to have boys that are polite in their mess-making. You'll have to tell me how you did it in case I have any boys. Heck, girls need training too!
