    If you pardon the pun, that is ; )

Now that I/m done wiping my eyes from laughing...

I'm sorry, dear.  Just think of it as a Mommy-baptism.  It happens to us
all--and you will eventually manage to get the goop out of every nook
and cranny.

My  oldest daughter emptied a *big* box of baby powder all over her room
when she was about 18 months old.  It was nap time (the most productive
time of a toddler's day BTW) and I noticed an awful lot of what I
thought was dust drifting around in the air.  So I figured I'd better
get on top of the house cleaning : )  But when I when upstairs I saw
clouds of white stuff billowing from under Maddie's door.  Thinking it
was smoke, I flung the door open to find a very dusty room and a very
happy little girl.   It took me weeks to clean it all up.  I still come
across powder in the crevices of the dresser drawers.

Not to mention the time my then-three year old decided to repaint the
basement...
So far my son hasn't done a big one yet, but I'm just giving him time...

Hang in there.  In 25 years, when she calls you to cry about what the
baby has just done, it'll be your turn to laugh.
