Mr. Trouble

Our little boy, Jaron, is the sweetest 18 month old boy I know! He laughs at everything and loves to hide and pop out to say pink-a-boo! He loves to sit on our laps and read books, play cars with his older brothers and even dolls with his sister Megan. Megan explains that he is always the "Honey" (the daddy) when they play house. But this little boy is definitely my most curious and mischievous of the bunch. More than any of my other kids at this age, he loves to explore and open every drawer, empty it out and cart everything off to find another home for whatever he has found. Today, it was just out of pure joy from his curiosity that he found my large jar of petroleum jelly. Luckily, he decided it looked like it belonged ON him. So handfuls of Vaseline went into his hair, tummy, legs and arms. Have any of you every tried to wash out this stuff from hair or clothes? It's nearly impossible! I called Mike at work after combing and washing his hair about 7-8 times. He "googled" it and there is was. A formula to resolve this problem that consisted of Olive Oil and Dish soap. Within a few washes it was finally out. I had to snap a few pictures of him hiding with the guilty look on his face! Oh how we love this little boy who keeps me on my toes, but recently with a few other adventures has received the nick-name of Mr. Trouble.
