Banana Stealer...

So not so long ago, my dad was holding Lilly. He reached for something in the fridge, closed the door, and realized that Lilly, in a moment's notice, had stolen the wasabi from the door of the fridge. Since then, she has been called Wasabi grabber by my dad.

Now, she needs a new name.

I sent a banana to daycare with Lils today. Well, I sent a cut up banana to daycare yesterday and it was so gross by the time the decided to feed it to her that they assured me if I sent a whole banana, they would be happy to cut it up for me.
So I did.
When I got there to pick her up this afternoon, she was sitting in her highchair, eating crackers and refusing the newly cut up banana. I gathered her things and took the rest of the banana with me.
On the way to the car, she grabbed the banana out of my hands and started gnawing on it... peel and all. So I peeled a little of it and gave her the whole banana to eat. Once we got her buckled in the car seat, I took the banana away and set it in the daycare bag that holds bottles and dirty dishes.
We headed to meet our friend Saba in the Highlands for some tea.

When I pulled up to the Highlands, i happily got out and opened to the door to get my baby out. But what I saw would have frightened even the biggest horror movie lover! Banana was everywhere! All over her legs. All over her arms! In her hair! In her ears! between her toes! It was as if she had taken a bath in banana. Needless to say the carseat was also filthy.
What to do? We were supposed to meet Saba in a few minutes and I had no washcloths or anything with me.

I remembered that there was a fountain at the Highlands that is just a piece of sidewalk that has places where water squirts out. That would at least be a good place for her to rinse off!
So I drove to the fountains, quickly threw off my shoes and undressed her as much as I could.
She and I hopped into the fountain and got soaking wet! That child had banana pieces in her diaper, on her chest, attached to her earlobe!
We finally got her clean and dressed in new clothes and headed off to find Saba, no worse for wear.

When we got home, for a second, I thought about eating one of those delicious looking bananas on the counter, but then my thoughts came back eyelashes caked with nasty banana and I started to smell it all over again. No bananas for me for a long time. And I am going to make sure I keep them away from her! Banana Stealer!

PS. had I been in my right mind, I would have taken pictures of the progression. Be glad though that I didn't take a picture of her covered in banana. It would ruin your image of her.
