So you know how they say that babies and toddlers are like scientists, always exploring and experimenting with everything they see. Well, our Jaxen is no exception. That's exactly what he loves to do. Explore and experiment. Whether it's rocks in the dirt, rocks in the pool, rocks in the mouth. Dirt and sand in the air. How fast a sippy cup will fall. Hands can be drums on the table, floor, boxes or whatever you can find. Really, the list could go on and on. His latest experiment......what else can you do with vaseline?
A couple weeks before we moved Kaeryn and her friend had come in to ask me something(I can't remember). I was working in the kitchen. They came in and stopped at the hallway and stopped talking. Then Kaeryn asked why did Jaxen have stuff all over him. I went over to see what she was talking about because I was pretty sure all I had done was change a diaper and put clothes on Jaxen. To my suprise there was Jaxen completely covered with vaseline. I started laughing! I actually could not stop laughing. I went straight for my camera. Jaxen just looked at me and said "Cheeze".
I love my little scientist. It's so great to see him explore. Even though some of his little experiments don't always go as planned, I love him and I love to see him learn.
The end result of this little experiment..........Vaseline does not come out of hair very easily. Infact, it takes about a week or so for it to finally wear off. So the lesson learned......mommy needs to remember to put it away after changing Jaxen's diaper.

oh my gosh! That is so funny! He's so cute!
I can't stop laughing!
ohhhhh, how we've been there! Mary is our child who used to like to eat butter by the fist-full... one day she decided to switch to vaseline. BLECH!
Very funny Holly - I'd imagine you are still cleaning vaseline off the carpets too?!
Hope you are enjoying your visit with your mom and dad (and Kaela?) Not sure if she decided to go with them or not.
