Life Lessons from a toddler

Here are some lessons Ellie taught me this week:

1) Rubbing Alcohol will remove lipstick from clothes.
2) Hairspray will remove more lipstick from clothes.
3) Dawn Dishsoap will remove LOTS of lipstick from clothes.
4) Make-up remover does not remove large amounts of lipstick from cheeks, arms and necks.
5) 18 month old babies do not listen well when told not to touch mommy's lipstick.

6) Parents who buy their children clear lip gloss are geniuses.
7) Girls and boys are different -- boys get into things. Girls get into expensive, sure to stain your new clothes kind of things.


Thank you, Eliana.

Rubbing alcohol... I'll have to remember that one. She's still awfully adorable (but I'm not the one cleaning up the lipstick mess.) Good luck!

Lock! Rachael - You need a Lock! Big sturdy, I'm gonna scream all day Lock on your bathroom door so Elliana cannot get into your lipstick! I would've loved to seen some of your lipstick clothes just for laughs!
