Bribery works and Face painting

It's been a long time since I've gotten a good photo of Oli, so I did what any desperate parent would do for a great shot - I bribed him with a lollipop, and it worked!

ENJOYING his reward :)

Lately, Oli has been getting into all kinds of messy situations. One afternoon he rubbed Desitin all over himself. Another day he went into my makeup-bag and painted the bathroom sink and floor with mascara. Last Friday, while I was in the kitchen cooking dinner, Oli climbed onto a book shelf in our office. He found the white out and a red marker and painted his face. We tried removing it with olive oil, baby oil, nail polish remover, and soap. The marker stains came off but two days later he still had white out on his face. Brian decided to try goof-off and that did the trick (goof-off is a chemical used to remove paint and glue from surfaces; but don't worry, Brian took precautions to make sure it didn't get in Oli's eyes).

Friday night.

Sunday morning - still had some white out on his face.
