My baby, Rakaipaka is a wonderful boy. He is such a cutie. Here are a few times though where his cuteness has helped him get out of a spot of trouble.
The first time I am sharing with you, is I went out to hang the washing out and came back to this:

This is what Jiff and Dishwashing liquid look like together. Hmmm. Needless to say my floors smelt wonderfully clean and sparkly - once I was able to get it all off the floor... Thank you!!
The next experience we were at a good friend of mine. She has 7 children, and is a wonderful lady. I was talking with her, when I turned around and found Rakaipaka happily drawing all over her lovely wooden varnished floor with a vivid marker pen. Now her living room is quite large - as large families need- and he had not just scribbled in a small corner of the room it was ALL over the floor spanning about 4 meters in length in large circular swirls. Here is a small portion of the 'artists' work.
Now ask yourself what would you do if it were your floor? I wanted to shrink - I was embarressed and my mind immediately went into 'how am I going to get this off' mode. My friend, she burst out laughing when she saw it.. why? because it has been on of her greatest fears that one of her children would do this at someone elses house and here it was me living her nightmare!!! Thankfully with a house of girls there was plenty of Nail polish in the house to remove it. My dear friend was amazed I knew what was needed to get it off.. and Rakai was saved again!! He did try to be helpful and clean it off with me though,.. !!lol!! (yes I can laugh about it now)
Heidi, my mouth was gapping open when i read it was someone else's floor!
ReplyDeleteWe always impress on our children & ourselves the importance of balance. Now this is a perfect execution of that principle just not in the right order or place. Making a mess & cleaning it up...... Oh aren't they just a work in progress.
