What is on his face and hands?!

No it's not marker, it's not make-up either.  We put the boys to bed and about 15 minutes later Jeremy comes down stairs looking like this and rubbing his fingers tell me he can't get it off.

The conversation goes as follows,

me:  Jeremy!  What is that?

J:  I don't know.

me:  Where did you get it?  Where you eating something?

J:  I don't know.  It won't come off.

Lane:  You better go find out what that was.

Jeremy and I head up the stairs and I ask him to show me what he had.  As he goes into our bathroom my first thought is make-up.  But I couldn't think of anything I had that was that vibrant of a pink.  I told him to show me what he had.  He's pointing in one of the drawers but I'm seeing nothing.  Then I see this little wrapper that I recognize.  He found and ate a disclosing tablet (you know the tablets you eat that show the plaque on your teeth).  It brushes off of teeth but not skin.  So after I washed his hands and face I informed him that it wouldn't come off.  He immediately started to sob.

Jeremy:  I want it off!

me:  Well it won't come off.  It's kind of like a permanent marker.

Jeremy:  I want it off.

me:  Well it's going to take a few days.

He is sobbing all the while and he climbs into bed.  Then in his cute little voice he manages to wimper, "okay.  (sob)  I will wait."

A few minutes later he came back down the stairs again.  On his way back up he says to Lane, 
"Dad!  When you go to school take a piece of my candy with you!" 

He so sweet!  He just wants to share.  But boy is he mischief.  Two minutes after that he came down with Lane's deoderant wanting to put it on.  I'm going to go put him back in bed now and hopefully he stays this time.

lol, what a cutie. I'm glad you can find humor in all of this, I'm sure I would be pulling out my hair trying to get my little guy to stay in bed. ...the evenings are not my favorite time to deal with mischievous children :o)

LOL!! That is very funny. Sam is my "busy" child. It can be very amusing and tiring at the same time. But good for you for keeping a good attitude about it! :)
