If you happen to have your time-out spot
on the washing machine
like me
and you start using it for your almost terrible-two year old
like me
because he keeps hitting his brother with a tent pole,
just
maybe
screw the lid on your Ultra Concentrated Tide Cold Water
just
a
little
bit
tighter.
It will save you from walking in on him,
mid gulp,
lips blue from the Tide, coughing, pointing at his mouth and crying...
...clothes and washer lid - tide blue...
not even to mention calling his physician
and then poison control
just to find out that he'll live and you need only worry about him
throwing up and having the runs.
Then give him a bath,
hug him tight,
and
enjoy the fresh scent of Tide.

Maybe it cured him of something. My brother grabbed a cup on the counter, saying ummh root beer and downed it quick before mother could stop him from drinking the vinegar. Cured him.
Oh my word!!! Somewhat sad, really funny, but oh so cute to tell later :)
Keri! This is Carolyn (Cole) Whiting. I found your blog from Amey Durfee. How fun to see your cute family and all your creative stuff that you make.
Did your sis Amy ever do her own blog?--I talked to her a while back and she said she might.
Anyway, I'm going to put your link on our blog so I can check up on you--are you living in AZ?
You can go to our blog if you click on my name I think. You may be surprized to find we have FIVE children--all blessed to join us through adoption--unless you talked to Amy about it. Well, fun to catch up on you a bit!

Wow . . . I could totally see Simeon doing that. But there is way to much interesting stuff above our Washing machine for it to be a timeout spot ;)
We have a lonely little chair in the dining room just waiting for naughty children. I'd be too afraid to put anyone in the laundry room. I've already found Fae (almost 6!) in the dryer trying to spin herself around. "But mom! Its my roller coaster!!!"
