Is Anything Really Kid Proof?

Like most first time parents, Steve & I bought every "kid proof" item known to man and installed them as soon as Sarah became mobile. We've been fortunate so far, but we had to know this day would come.

The other night Steve & I were having a nice conversation after dinner while Sarah was playing. We knew it was a little too quiet in the house, but both thought she was playing up in her room. A few more minutes passed and we realized it was DEFINITELY too quiet so we went to see what she was up to. Sure enough, she had left her room and was now in our bathroom where she'd gotten into my make-up drawer...the one with the child proof lock! She'd decided to make her face up like a cat using my mascara.

Perhaps we should be embarrassed for letting this happen, but to be honest, she was so proud of herself and seeing her face made us both laugh! The best part too was when she started walking around saying, "I'm a kitty cat. Meow!"


Sarah the Cat!

By the way, the white stuff on Baby Kate's head is Balmex! Let's just say it wasn't very fun trying to clean that up!

This is just priceless. The Balmex was a real mess. But Sarah is just way too cute with her mascara face.

Maybe this is just the beginning of a career as a make-up artist? Baby Kate sure is moisture protected. Meow, Meow.
