Picmic

Today was a beautiful sunny day, so we had a "picmic in the park."/our living room I'm glad we are getting good use out of the crown and dress since they took me forever to make!! (the tulle part of the skirt is all bunched up in the bodice part which is why she looks prego). yes, those are christmas presents in the background-don't judge me!

side story: i am obssive compulsive, i know!! i'm been babysitting a friend's kid for a couple of weeks. the first day he came over he was smelly (esp his hair), but you know it was the first day and i didnt want to offend him or anyone else. the second day he came over he was smellier. i think his hair got rinsed in water last night, because he was a bit less smelly, but that's about it. i found out they dont like to wash him too much because they dont want him to get sick (what era do we live in? during the renaissance, or sometime soon after- didnt they discover that was a nyth???) - after about an hour, i couldnt stand to hold him anymore today-he was up to his stinky status quo. soon after i noticed his ears and yellow goop was oozing out, then i took off his his little jumper (that had the closed feet) and pandora's box was unleashed, a sickly sour men's locker room smell over powered my senses and sucked out the oxygen in the room. i thought i was going to puke, i didnt think little kids could smell so badly. i jumped up, turned on the water and dunked him in. when i had him shining, max says 'wow, he's a different kid. remember that time you washed sophia's plastic doll and it went from dark to light.' i swear he was a shade lighter! and then i was a bit paranoid that they might smell him (or not smell him) and i didnt want to offend anyone-so of course i was thinking of all the excuses i would say about why he might smell a little better and of course nobody noticed anything, which is good! my friends are so nice and they are so hospitable when we go over their house-but OMG italy needs to update health and good living books! if i see one i am going to buy one, highlight the hygiene chapters and leave it on their doorstep anonymously!!!!!

I remember you telling me about that little one! You could say he had an accident (everyday) and you had to keep bathing him!!! :)
