for too long that is...
Today I was fixing my healthy lunch of salad greens, cucumber, orange pepper, and salmon. All while Caroline was in the living room supposedly eating her lunch. I had totally forgotten that we had put the vaseline in the living room for Anna's bottom. Ooops. When I returned to the living room - Caroline had smeared gobs of the gooey stuff all over her arms and was on her way to cover her toes. Luckily I caught her in time....
Later this afternoon, while trying to get rid of a headache I was in the living room, Caroline said she was going to make her own tea. I had made a fresh gallon earlier this afternoon and knew that she was trying to "be like mom". Little did I know that she was making her tea with MY FRESH tea - she had added the lovely cucumber skins and orange pepper tops that was supposed to have gone in the trash. Needless to say the tea went down the drain.
Not sure which lesson I learned but here is a rundown of what I need to remember:
1.) Don't leave a 3 year old unattended for too long.
2.) Put the vaseline in HIGH places.
3.) Throw away food trash sooner.
and
4.) Put the fresh tea in the fridge when it is finished.
