I'm Not Always So Sharp. . .

Tonight I left Livia in the bathtub while I put Tate to bed. Before I left, I admonished her not to splash any more water on Grandma's mirror. I thought I would return quickly and doubted that she could find any other mischief.

When I came back I took her out and toweled her off. She pointed out to me the scratches on her belly. (It's summertime- my kids all have scratches all the time!) I was puzzled, however, because she said she got them in the tub. "Are you sure?" I asked. Yes, she was sure. I didn't see anything sharp in the tub, so I asked her again where the scratches came from.

"From that orange scrubber," she pouted.

OH. That orange scrubber, which I had overlooked, was Grandma's RAZOR.

Hi Calli!
I'm glad that your trip is going well! Aren't you thankful that God is always near our children, even when we can't be right there?!? I've had moments similar to that with my kids, you just can't think every little possibility thru!
The kids and I have been enjoying the kefir! But, we are going out of town for a week and I wanted to ask what do I do with it while we are gone. What did you do with yours?
Thanks!
Mandie

I took mine with me! But I think if you put fresh milk with it and refridgerate it, it should be fine. If mine doesn't survive, I may be asking you to share back with me when we return!
