Silent is Deadly

You know something is not right when it's quiet. Merrick is never quiet. If such an event happens, it hits you all of a sudden. *WHY is it QUIET?!* Usually I can just let Merrick play in his room...it's always very loud, I can hear what he's crashing/beating/throwing. I can see him from my room, and part of his room from the kitchen. But earlier tonight, while I was sitting at the desk paying some bills...it was quiet. :) I realized it all of a sudden, and jumped out of my chair to see what was wrong. He was sitting behind his dinosaur pool with a bottle of lotion. There was a suspicious ring *of lotion* around his mouth. Gross! At dinner tonight he used his banana for hand cream, and now he's eating lotion. Huh? Earlier in the afternoon he had managed to do this:He had tried to scale his crib to get to his blankie. He was stuck hanging off the side of it, and couldn't get back down. I would say "that will teach him not to do that", but I know it won't. :) It'll be way too quiet again before I know it.
