Throwback Thursday…. Daddy’s Tail Tale

Throwback… about a year ago. Kate had turned two in April and had gotten potty trained in June, so she was obsessed with all things potty.

This particular day, Andy was dropping Kate off at my dad’s house for the afternoon. Before he left, he wanted to make sure she went to the potty.

After she was done, she said “Do you need to go potty, Daddy?”

“Yes, Kate.”

“Do you need to go pee pee?”

“Yes, Kate.”

“Do you need to go pee pee with your… with your… with your tail?”

WFMW: My Kids’ Lotion

It’s Works for Me Wednesday and it’s also true confessions time. What works for me is that the whole family uses my kids’ lotion. As a matter of fact, I use it more on myself than I do on them! We use Gerber Grins & Giggles, and I love the fact that they have so many different scents and are so affordable! You can usually get a 14 ounce bottle at Wal-Mart for around $2.50 and there are often coupons to be had at Gerber.com. I also love the coordinating Grins & Giggles hair & body wash and I’ve recently found it at Big Lots for $1.99! My favorite scents are Sweet Pea and Lavender, and my husband uses the Oatmeal almost every day and it smells great, but not so girly. The lotions are very moisturizing and the hair & body wash smells fantastic, and the smell stays in my kiddos’ hair for awhile. I love it! (Once again, the good folks at Gerber are not paying me for this, although I can be bought. How many times do I have to say that before I get some free stuff??) So if you love to smell like your clean baby all day, go get some G&G! It works for me!
