Oh yes, I have joined the ranks of motherhood nation wide. Rina has officially colored on her walls. Or shall I say, all over her walls, kitchen set, a nice wood chair, her dresser, and her play table. How did this happen you ask? Oh, let me tell you.
Apparently one night while she was in her room (winding down for sleep) Rina happened across a broken piece of a black crayon. The crayons are all suppose to be put away in a bag in a drawer when she is done coloring for several reasons. However, one day we missed one, a part of one that is.
Babies and Toddlers have eyes like hawks and they can find the most minuscule item on the carpet if they are interested enough. They must have built in radars as well. So, one night I went in to Rina’s room to turn off her nightlight and gaze at my angelic little girl as she lay peacefully sleeping. My joy turned to surprise and then horror as right above the nightlight I noticed a mark or two on the wall. I gasped loudly waking not only Rina but bringing Bryan running in to the room.
It was true, my little angel had shown her artistic capabilities all over her walls. (the first pic shows the two walls on which she drew) The early morning light the next day revealed that not only the walls but some items in her room also shared the same fate. All I could do was sigh.
FYI – magic eraser works wonders!
LOVE IT!!! Glad you took some pictures. One day you will laugh. Just be thankful its not pen – that's even harder to get out. I love the picture of her washing with you!
Told you Magic Eraser would work 🙂 Even with all mom's mumblings…
Yes but did you wear gloves? I've heard they are pretty hard on skin.
they are, but they work
I won't disagree with that. Still no answer from Er.
Sorry, no I didn't wear gloves – didn't need them. They may have new "magic erasers" out bc they didn't seem that rough to me
Its not rough – its the chemicals! Nice of you to finally check your blog!
OH, they didn't say anything about needing gloves and I did wash my hands after I used it so hopefully it's all ok 🙂 And I do check my blog occasionally… why check it too much I know what it says 🙂
Yes but you don't know all the comments. Jenna and I have been having a nice conversation here.
Glad you at least washed your hands.
