If The Mommy Woman is not alert AT ALL TIMES.....

......she may find herself drifting into gentle slumber as little Nikki plays nearby, only to awaken to the feel of some strange sort of scraping on her posterior. On closer examination she may find that the source of the gentle scraping is little Nikki herself, busy doing up The Mommy Woman's  posterior (in need of renovation, yes, but this may not quite have been what The Mommy Woman was thinking) with The Mommy Woman's favorite lip gloss. Further inspection may reveal that little Nikki is quite the budding artist and has generously given of her talent to paint the bedspread, the pillow covers, several patches of the floor and The Mommy Woman's new handbag as well. Just as The Mommy Woman is recovering from the effect these startling sights are bound to have, the doorbell may ring to announce the arrival of the not so friendly new neighbors, stopping by to ask some questions about the neighborhood. The Mommy Woman may ask them inside and offer them a cup of tea but as she walks into her living room she may hear some strange sort of squeaks and snorts and the new neighbors may quickly excuse themselves citing that all important purchase of groceries as the excuse. The Mommy Woman may feel a little perplexed at this strange behavior until she catches sight of herself in a mirror as she turns a corner and sees that her posterior, encased in white tracks, is now a brilliant, shiny, glossy PINK. Did you know that on a pristine white background pink stands out really well? Well it does. Vivid.

And to think this is a child who eschews crayons unless it is to generally toss them around.

LOL - what a graphic post. I can just see your pink "posterior" along with a pink blushing face! Ha ha ha - Nikki made my day :-)

Hmph, so much for hoping for some sympathy. My tracks are ruined too, several washes later the pink still remains!

I soooooooooo love the way you write!! Have you ever thought of publishing these posts in real print???

Sherry...She did the deed with lip gloss dude, not crayons. The crayons are used for other purposes, such as banging them on my head.

Piper...Really? I can do that?

Kay...Hi there, how're you coping with the sleep deprivation? Nikki tricked us into thinking she'd started sleeping thru the night around 8months...and then she bunged the 4am awakenings on us. Sigh.
