If you’ve been following my blog over the last couple of years, you will know that Amy has always been a messy pup. As soon as she learned to hold things, she used them to create havoc. Dinner turned into what we lovingly call the broccoli massacre and a simple afternoon of colouring resulted in rainbow-coloured vomit all over the kitchen floor – Amy had taken a liking to her crayons and bitten chunks off of them.
Once she started walking, Amy’s interest quickly shifted from crayons to Sudocrem and paint. At first, she only smeared it around her mouth or on the table, then she took it to a whole new level…
In a quiet moment, she grabbed a pot of red finger paint and gave our bedroom a little makeover. I can laugh about it now, but I was absolutely devastated when I found her in our bedroom, covered in paint and with a proud smile on her little face. There was red pain everywhere. On the walls, on the doors – it looked like a murder scene and there was no way of getting the paint off the wall. We scrubbed and scrubbed and in the end, we painted the room not once, not twice but 6 times to cover her colourful masterpieces. Chocolate smeared faces I can live with, unwanted wall paintings however not so much.
The mess however that got Amy the most giggles from my friends and family was her African tribal painting. While ‘peacefully’ playing in her bedroom, she must have climbed onto the top shelf of her wardrobe where I stored her toiletries and her Sudocrem, and ehm discovered the healing benefits of nappy cream.
She looked hilarious, but admittedly, she almost scared me to death when she stood on top of the stairs with the face of a ghost.

I know I shouldnt laugh, but the sudocrem is so funny;. It is a good job she is adorable! Thanks for entering
It took ages to come off. I even ended up washing her hair with washing up liquid as nothing was getting it out x
Oh dear! Wonder what she will be when she is older…..something that has mess involved I think!!
Maybe she manages a waste disposal company. Sounds dirtier than it is 😀
she’s hilarious!
Aaron did that exact thing with Sudocrem a few years back. What bothered me most after the fright of it, was that I just could not get it out of his hair. Had to dunk him in the bath and wash it for a long time. Thankfully it was a one off. Actually he did it again but I caught him when it was just on his hands. It is scary finding your child like this, but at this monthly witching Halloween time of year it’d be quite appropriate LOL xx
I used washing up liquid in the end. Shampoo just didn’t cut it x
Oh my! Sudocream is such a nightmare to wash off aswell!
Sudocrem is the very worst to get out, my boys had it everywhere one day and so my sympathy is with you.
oh lol this is very funny what a little monkey. and sudocream is a nightmare to shift isnt it? i know of a boy who decided to clean the DVD player with it!!! yikes! xx
