The Lotion...

Little Miss Tessa, little Miss Tessa, little Miss Tessa. What a lotion-y day. Tessa has officially been in her big girl bed for two weeks. She's been doing really well with it although each day that goes by she learns more and more that there is nothing stopping her from getting out. Today's nap...not quite the nap we were hoping for.

Derek was home with the kids this afternoon while I was working at school for a few hours. He had a nice relaxing afternoon where both kids slept for a few hours...well, that is what we thought. When I got home I went to check on the kids (Derek had checked on them also but Tessa must have just stopped talking when Derek went back there so she made him think she was sleeping!) Anyways, yep Nolan was sound asleep as peaceful as can be. Now it was time to peek in Tessa's room. There she was sound asleep nice and peacefully just like Nolan, wait, no she wasn't. There she was sitting on her bed with all of her "guys" (shown in a picture below) and a bottle of lotion. She loves lotion but never has she brought it to bed with her until today. She had lotion in her hair, on her pants, on her shirt, in her socks, when I walked in she was rubbing it in her cheeks, and all of her guys were also covered. I really couldn't help but laugh. She had lotion all over everything in her bed. I said, "Honey, did you sleep at all?" "No mommy, I've been too busy playing." Tonight was a treat. I wouldn't recommend no-nap Tessa, however, at least we got a good laugh out of the lotion. I wish I would have taken a picture...it was quite the sight. At least no one in her bed tonight should have dry skin:)
