Lies Your Shampoo Bottle Tells - Day 88
Grayson my man,
I can't tell you how excited our friends and family were to meet you before you even stepped on the scene. The amount of love you received through gifts was astonishing. In addition to the main event, both Mommy and Daddy's workplaces gave us baby showers. Today, we are days away from being real-life parents for 3 months, and we still haven't had to buy diapers or wipes. God is truly awesome. But it's not only diapers and wipes that you received.
Sing with me son. Let’s get it.
There were onesies and hats and toys and Teddys
Nightlights and humidifiers and blankets and fedi (that's money by the way).
But the most appreciated gifts that we knowwww
Were the fragrance products from Aveenoooooo.
Ohhhh you had a bunch baby products, but your skin was sensitive.
If the lotion had a fragrance, in your parent’s bathroom it would live.
Being wasteful isn't our lifestyle, so we've put those things to use.
It's good enough for mommy and daddy, if it's good enough for you.
Then one early Saturday, Daddy got a clue.
If the lotion is this amazing, the shampoo probably is too.
When you take showers with Daddy, I use it to wash your hair.
So on this fateful morning, it was already in there.
I squeeze a good bit in my hand, then I began to lather.
Some soap ran down into my eye, AND IT BURNED.
I mean it burned superbad. My eye stung to the point of me having to look directly into the shower head, eyes wide open. To add insult to injury, the bottle says “No more tears”. They should add “Because your eyes will be blue blazing like the desert on a hot day”. Maybe that's too long to fit on the bottle. But I digress.
I do pray you get past the sensitive skin issues. However, in the interim we will continue to use all things lavender and chamomile gifts you received, if only to keep you safe. Who knew having a baby was such a great way to get amazing toiletries. Thanks a lot son. We can remove something from your running tab. Obviously, it will be something small that is struck from the record. Possibly a WubbaNub or some nice socks, but you’ve earned it.
We love you!!!
Dada
