SHAVING

Yes, shaving is the issue for today.

No, not my shaving needs, but those of my 3 year old son, TK.

The other day, TE ran to tell me that her brother had been playing with red stuff. I calmly walked upstairs and saw my son at the top of the stairs. His mouth was red and it frankly looked like lipstick. I simply asked him what he had been doing and he said,

"Well, I just wanted to...I'm sorry mommy."

And then he disarmed me by shifting his head to the side and widening his pretty brown eyes. What could I do? I simply asked him to show me what he had been playing with.

We went into my bathroom and as I started to wash his face, the boy began flinching and I soon realized that the 'red stuff' was blood. I began to panic. I asked him what he had been playing with and all of a sudden the boy knew he was in trouble. I soon found the culprit - his father's razor! My son had tried to shave!

Turns out that every time Husband shaves, the boys watch him and sometimes, rub a bar of soap (the only thing they should be able to get their hands on) on their face to replicate the act of shaving.

I wish someone had warned me! These boys, I swear, they will not kill me =)

BTW, starting next Monday, I have a little meme that I hope many of you will participate in. Its just a little way for us Nigerian bloggers to share some cheer this holiday season with one another. Keep an eye out for it, okay?  Thanks so much everyone for the constant support and good wishes. Blessings to you all!

Children, if they're not playing with mum's makeup and heels, it's dad's shaving kit. Hope you've removed the razors from their reach?

Will look for the meme and thanks again for the book.

Wow..your kids are quite a handful...raising kids is a full time job on its own. But please keep such dangerous items away from them, lets just thank God that it was only a minor scratch and all.
