Sometimes all it takes is shaving cream


Believe it or not, this was one of our finer moments. 
That's right, naked children covered in shaving cream is where we excel. 
The moments leading up to it were a struggle.
A discordant symphony of whining and crying about something which was quickly forgotten by all. 
They needed a sensory mess to decompress and I needed the ability for it to be washed away once they were done.


When someone is your best friend but also takes your parent's attention and sometimes your candy, it can be hard. When this person inexplicably delights in annoying you it can be frustrating. And when you have only been on the planet for 4 or 6 years, coping strategies are still very much under development. 


We all have those moments when we annoy or frustrate one another. I am thankful for shaving cream, and that they have each other.
