chapstick for boys

So... I've been trying to juggle working several hours a month from home doing some accounting consulting and taking care of the boys. Not always an easy task. Most of the time however, Brayden is content to watch a "Dora" episode in the morning while Bryce is sleeping. This "time" has seemed to be the best time for me to get anything done... but lately... Brayden has realized that this is the time that I am not paying as close attention to him as I normally am ... so if he was to get into anything... this would be the perfect time for him... at least I'm sure that's how he rationalizes it! :) So this morning, I was working and Brayden was watching Dora in the living room and hitting a ball. It all of a sudden became what I call "scary quiet" so I asked Brayden what he was doing. He responds by telling me that he has found "chapstick for boys". (Whenever I put lip gloss on, he wants some and I tell him that it is only for girls)... hence his phrasing.. I asked him to come in to the office and as he did, he was oh so gently applying Lansinoh cream to his lips. For those who may not know Lansinoh cream is: as the tube reads "For Breastfeeding Mothers... soothes, heals, & protects dry and cracked skin.. apply to nipple area" Oh my! At least he will not have any dry lips for days to come...
