wow! not only is odin really pretty much almost probably just about standing and forcing us to batten Down The Hatches with his extreme interest in what’s in the cupboards, but today we discovered that he’s also getting tall enough to spy what might be on the edge of the last safe zone in the house – the top of the kitchen table.

of course, the vast expanse of unexplored space ( at least from this angle, he usually gets a good view of it from his highchair ) is all the more interesting because it requires one to stand precariously on one’s tippy toes just to get a look at what hidden treasures might reveal themselves to just within reach, which is this case is a bottle of tea tree oil ( thankfully with it’s cap securely tightened ).

we use tea tree oil like other households might use duct tape or maybe butter and it’s currently being recruited in the The Great Butt Rash War.

i have no idea if it actually helps alleviate the symptoms, but hey, i guess it can’t hurt. who knew the aussies had an academic tea tree research group?
