I told her that even though it is fun, baby powder is not for playing with. As you can see, she is not impressed I took the rest away from her.
I left the room long enough to get a comb for her hair. This is what I came back to find. Luckily, the friends I was meeting with for a play date today didn’t mind me being late.
So if anyone is feeling generous, I will accept donations of the following: a professional carpet cleaner, a healthy dose of sanity, chocolate in any form, wine in any form, a babysitter.
How To Ruin A Toddler's Day 
I bet she smelled fresh after that!
Oh, fresh is an understatement lol.
I’m also jealous of your ability to drink wine. I really want a Margarita, but there is the whole ‘no drinking while pregnant’ thing. 😉
You’ll get there Mama. The virgin ones just don’t hit the spot, do they. 😉
Nope. I don’t even drink normally, but pregnant hormones make me crave margaritas… So weird.
It didn’t post my first comment: I’d bet she smelled all sorts of fresh after that.
hehe again, yes she did. 😉
We both sneezed a lot during clean up.
So it did post after all. Silly internet.
lol she’s a cutie!
Thanks! 🙂
I couldn’t agree with you more, biased as I am.

Sorry, what? Lol
LOL. My son must have had my phone.
You life ruiner 🙂 she wants to play lol
Play she did. And sneeze. And cry.

LOL, makes me feel like coughing just to look at her! 😉 I bet it was a lovely smell once you guys could breathe again.
It was some kinda smell haha.
PS, I nominated you for an award in my post “Can we say geektastic? I think I had a nerdgasm” post. Go check it out! 🙂
Thank you!!
Bahahaha.. that moment when you walk in the room get so mad that you could cry for about 17 seconds.. long enough to say your childs entire name in your most sturn mom voice… then burst into laughter. With that face how could you not bust a gut haha.
I wanted to yell, but I luckily had the sense to take a picture instead. Even looking back at the photo in the evening, at the end of the day I was glad I had. Just a little bit of time made me gain some perspective and realize it was hilarious!
Oh my! What a moment! The foot prints where obviously she was standing while exploring the physics of baby powder floating through the air … PRICELESS!! It looks like one of those moments when you want to laugh but can’t because then she’ll redecorate the ENTIRE house…
I was so glad I had the sense to take a picture rather than scream lol.
Looking back on it now (that it is cleaned up) I find it quite funny!
Oh my, two nights ago my two oldest children were refusing to sleep, at 10 I went into their room and they had just smeared hand cream all over themselves. Kids are fun eh!?
taking a picture for blackmail purposes later is very cathartic during these types of moments when you just want to scream!!! Been there! Kids are so darn fast! 🙂
Believe it or not, I’ve seen worse! When my sister was little, she got a hold of the baby powder and it was all over her room. And her crib. And her. It’s actually one of my fondest memories of her as a baby–probably because I didn’t have to clean it up! Don’t envy you that mess!
Hahaha what is it with toddlers and powder?! the other day I came into a room that looked liked it had been snowed in!
Lol so glad to know I am not the only one!
I did this as a baby. Thank you for taking pictures. Use them to get your way later in life. Lol.
