This afternoon: pros and cons

Well, the results of Thomas's catastrophic diaper failure were pretty easily remedied by the laundry, dishwasher, and bathtub. And that's good!

But, while I was scraping down Thomas in the bathtub, James ran in to ask, "Mama, how do you spell your name?" Then he ran back out.

Back in. "Mama, how do you spell 'Thomas'?"

Back out.

Back in. "Mama, how do you spell the name you call Dad?"

Back out.

At this point you have probably realized that these words now appear in crayon all over our upstairs wall, but I was distracted and figured it out only too late. And that's bad!

But we have Mr. Clean's Magic Eraser. And that's good!
