If a picture is worth a 1000 words...

...and my camera is broken, what can I do?

Let me set this up for you...

Littlest girl of mine, who will be two this weekend, loves to play dress-up!

Loves dress-up! (usually includes swimwear, a purse, lots of outerwear and shoes and boots that are way too big.)

She is just in the process of changing her outfits (which happens 10 times an hour).

I hear sobbing.

I find her in the hallway facing the wall.

I approach her slowly as am looking for clues (a.k.a siblings) for her possible reasons for distress. She turns around and looks at me with the saddest face, tears streaming down her chubby cheeks and her fingers holding her nose.

I knew right away. She had just filled her diaper.

So overcome by the offensive odour, she burst out crying and ran into my arms weeping...holding her nose the whole time.

Considering my emotional state at the time, my eyes watered...for her and her state!

Very descriptive, I can totally see her weeping and holding her nose. Hmmm....maybe all the distress will have her in underwear sooner than later!
