Red Dye #5

We love James. He was our favorite. That is, until they recalled him because he was made of lead paint. And to be honest, the tantrum that ensued from removing James from our house made lead poisoning look like a walk in a park.

Now fast forward 6 weeks...we're over James, but not over the red dye apparently.

Yesterday, while "napping" my little guy slipped into his favorite t-shirt. This is a shirt brought to him by his Nana and Memo directly from the Great Wall. After 2+ hours of "napping" (playing, yelling, stripping his bed, hiding under his bed and getting stuck) my little one finally fell asleep. Unfortunately for us, he forgot to go potty in all the excitement of the previous "napping." So 1 1/2 hours later I go to wake him up and find him in a Chinese sea of pink. Turns out the t-shirt is very generous. Not only did it make all of my daughter's clothes pink (ok...most of them were pink to begin with) the first time I washed it, but when mixed with what seemed to be a gallon of urine, it also makes the comforter and sheets pink too.

Let's hope that the removal of this red dye is easier than that of James!
