This one is for all of you white mothers out there parenting brown children...
Lesson #1:
Coppertone's Water Babies SPF50 is, perhaps, not the best choice of sunblock.
I spent an oh-so fun-in-the-sun afternoon with some friends and their children last week . Noemi and I were not prepared for the back yard pool-action that would take place on that 90 degree day in April, but I figured what the hoots?! I stripped her down to her diaper and slathered on the sunblock. Big mistake. That poor child looked like a clown with a bad make-up job for the next hour until it finally absorbed into her skin. I couldn't stop laughing--good thing we weren't at the beach. How embarrassing. Next time I'll use the spray sunblock. Sorry, baby. Mamma's still in training.

She kinda looks greenish/grayish...like the Hulk :)
The spray stuff is pretty much awesome, but watch out if you put it on while they're clothed! One quick turn and the cute, new, ruffly, purple shirt you just got her will now have a giant stain on it. **sigh** kids!!!
Just what I needed this morning! Nothing like a Noemi photo to change my mood around... When all else fails, I resort to the blueberry video. Gets me laughing EVERY single time. LOVE IT!
That made me laugh out loud!! I sooooo would have done the same thing!!!! So glad you figured that out and shared that wisdom with us so we don't make the same mistake!!

I love when the diaper is the only article of clothing on our children. Meko despises that moisture absorbing loin cloth!
