Quiet. Too Quiet.

Me: Sonny, Smoochy has been too quiet for too long.

Sonny: (silence, for he is watching something of extreme importance involving an animated cat.)

Me: I think we should go and investigate;

Sonny: (continuing silence in the face of the animated cat.)

Me: Okay, I'll go. Ooh, hang on, I smell nappy-rash cream. Oh no. (Walks faster.)

Me: Ah yes, I thought so. Great. Well done sweetheart. Hold there while I get the camera.

Smoochy: (grumpy noises)

Sonny: (leaves the animated cat, interested in the unfolding disaster.)

Me: Okay, here, look at the camera. (Snap.)




Me: Oh save my soul, look at your hair. (Snap.)



Me: Hm. The legs. Show me. (Snap.)



Me: Look at your hands. (Snap.)



Me: Oh sweetheart. Your face. (Snap.)



Me: Oh well. I have a camera and you're gorgeous. SMILE! (Snap.)



Me: And now I'm calling Daddy.

  1. Calling Daddy to brag about your gorgeous daughter that he's missing out on, or calling in reinforcements?

  4. I was one of those annoying little princesses who hated having dirty hands/legs/hair (I still remember being horrified in grade one when asked to finger-paint) so the picture with the nappy-rash-creamed hair makes me shudder! But as I'm neither the person who has to wear it nor the person who has to clean it up, I can safely say, "Awwww... that's really cute!"

  6. The creme should help her have baby soft skin. Oh wait, she already has baby soft skin.
    Impressive paint job Miss Smoochy,

    Oh, P.S. I was talking with my neighbor yesterday. They moved back to the states in August after living in Brisbane for 3 years. I told her the name of your town. She was very familiar with it. She said they just lived a few minutes out of Brisbane. You would know it she said. Small World.

  7. You know you're a blogger when you take pictures of a scene like that!

    I would have called my kid's Daddy too.

  9. Oh, I was present when my nephew was thusly discovered--what a mess! I somehow managed to keep that stuff out of sight and reach with my own--but there were many other things I had to experience firsthand.

    She's very thorough, that Smoochy. Career in medicine on the horizon.

  11. Oh my, silence is never good! We have had a similar incident with vaseline. Well, just think of how well conditioned her hair is going to be and how soft her skin will be!!

  12. Isn't it funny how we grab our camera before grabbing a papertowel or something? I do that too :-)

  15. I love the look of awe on Sonny's face in the background there. It's like he's bowing to the queen of mischief. And seriously, well done for laughing in the moment. I can't guarantee I'd have shown the same patience.
