Lotion mess...

I was giving Noah "room time" the other day, and what I found afterward was a mess!
We try to do room time every day, and he usually does really well. Sometimes toys just don't cut it though, so he will find other things to get into.
I was checking my email, when I noticed I hadn't heard a peep from Noah for at least 15 minutes. Finally, a few minutes later I hear Noah say something. I called up to him, "Noah, what did you say?" He responded, "Lotion." I was up the stairs in a second, but of course, I was too late... he had it everywhere. I think he thought it was similar to his shampoo/body soap, because his main target was his hair. Clumps and clumps of lotion all over his hair, face, legs, and arms.
I didn't know where to begin! First I called Ben out to just sit and stare with me. I tried to rub the excess into his arms, legs and face... but what to do with the crazy hair. I tried to use wipes, but it was too thick with lotion. He ended up in the tub, and after 3 washes of his hair, it was still greasy.
Lesson learned! Make sure to check the diaper bag after a night over at grandma's. Put the soap, lotion and toothpaste away before leaving him alone!
