Are You Kidding Me?!

Today I put a small jar of pink food coloring into the shopping cart with Wyatt. The packaging requires that you twist of teh cap and then either pull off the tight foil cover or peirce it - which requires a knife since it also has a layer of plastic. I am rarely able to peel off the foil and most often have to use a knife to get into them.

I stopped to inspect a package of something and when I looked up it looked liked Wyatt was in a horror movie. He had managed to open the dye and empty it completely onto his hands and was finger painting with it.

I confiscated the dye and slinked away. I then began trying to clean his hands with wipes. Every time I would reach for a wipe, he would reach to touch something - there was pink dye everywhere! Plus the wipes seemed to water down the dye and spread it around.

I checked out using self check out so no one would see our hands. I was so embarrassed!
