Oh my oh my.

Mistake number 1: Thinking since there weren't any cleaning chemicals in the lower cabinet in my bathroom, it didn't need childproof locks yet.

I got up early this morning to mow our yard and do some major weeding before Addie woke up since the rain was coming and I knew it would be a while before the grass was dry enough to cut. So I come in filthy when Addie woke up, so I let her play in the bathroom while I was scrubbing my hands and arms because apparently just a hand wash isn't good enough for my dirt that became embedded in my skin. I had just put some cheese toast in the oven-my last 2 pieces of bread... time for a trip to the store. She got into the cabinet with my fingernail polish, which is normal for her, she never can get anything open, so I didn't do anything and continued scrubbing. That was my second mistake.

Apparently the top/brush was loose on the red/orange one. I look down and she is just getting the brush out, I panic. I try to grab it from her and she freaks...my third mistake. Nail polish covers her hands and splatters all over my floor. It makes her mad, so she sticks her nail polish hands in her MOUTH... YES her MOUTH! I'm really freaking out then and try to grab her and put down the nail polish at the same time (fourth mistake)and so she starts hitting the toilet with her still wet hands. Now we have a red/orange floor, child, mom, and toilet. Her face is covered with nail polish, her TEETH are colored, her hands, my hands, and now the sink too as I try to wash her face/mouth/hands quickly.

Seeing as I was to either have a red/orange child or try something stronger than soap, I finally break out the nail polish remover and cotton balls and tackle her hands, cheeks, and my hands, then a warm washcloth to scrub her teeth. I finally soaped her up, got us both clean, and then got the toilet, floor and sink. Now that the crying has stopped, the water is no longer running and things are semi-calm I now can smell the burnt aromas wafting through the house... yes my last two pieces of bread are now charcoal briquettes. We ate dry cereal for breakfast.

Childproof locks will now be installed in the bathroom cabinets.
