“Whah whah”

Jocelyn visited some friends this evening, so the girls and I had a fun evening together reading books and getting ready for bed. It was a great evening!

After the girls went to bed, Phaedra played the typical routine of singing and chatting as the evening waned later and later. Finally, Eleanor had had enough and came to inform me of an evening surprise.

Apparently, Phaedra stunk her pants and decided to paint…at the same time. Hence, the fun began. Now, to set the record straight, after discussing the situation with Phaedra, I concluded that her poo paint activities were not malicious; but, after stinking, she got some on her hands and attempted to clean her fingers using the sheets, her shirt, and crib rails. Lucky for her, she did a really great job getting it all off…her hands.

I got everything cleaned up, Phae in new jammies, and hands cleaned. To conclude our conversation, I asked in exasperation why, why, why did you stick your hand down the stinky diaper?

A cute little smile crept on her somber face and she replied:

“To get the the other side………Whah, Whaaaaah"

She grinned bigger, I lost it laughing, and she went right to sleep.

Ah fatherhood, even the crappiest nights turn out great!
