The same night of the barn, Jameson had another first. He was up a little later than usual since he was playing in his newly made barn. We put him to bed, then watch our Thursday night line up of shows that we had recorded. Just after 11 pm, I heard Jameson yell, “Mom!” and he was crying. We went upstairs to find this…

Jameson’s bed was full of items as usual. It’s like an I SPY game every night. This time, though, I was concerned, because his basket that usually sits on the changing table was in his bed… EMPTY. Most of the items were lined on his headboard. He was crying, and handed me his pig. When I took the pig, I noticed there was Vaseline all over it.  When I asked what happened he told me, “My pig.”

Me: “What’s on your pig?”

Jameson: “This.” (See what he gets in the picture?)

Me: “Did you put vaseline on your pig?”

Jameson: “Yah. Get it off.”

After finding a bunch of wet wipes all over in his bed….

Me: “Did you try and clean your pig?”

Jameson: “Yah.”

Me: “Do you and your pig need a bath?” (A discovery also showed he had it all over his hands, face, and in his hair.)

Jameson: “Yah.” and he started crying.

We couldn’t help but laugh. Kevin wouldn’t let me touch anything till he got the camera. Jameson was so upset. He knew he did something wrong. He’d been in his room for over 2 hours, and never went to bed. So Jameson got put in the tub at 11:30 pm and the pig got thrown in the wash. Luckily, Jameson came clean, and after a few washes, so did the pig.

Thankfully, it wasn’t on anything else or I might not have been laughing so hard. We tried not to let him see us laugh, because he was clearly in trouble. 🙂 But how can you not laugh when your child is so distraught and knows he did something wrong?
