Did you know...

That sometimes a little, sweet, innocent toddler can find a black, permanent marker that his mom forgot to put away and COLOR every wall/closet door/bedframe/LaZBoy chair/blankets/even himself, in just under 45 minutes??
Did you also know that toothpaste and Magic Erasers are the ONLY thing that gets this stuff off? (Oh and a few new coats of paint on the wall....)

Oh yes...this really happened, while Dexter was supposedly napping, and while I was at the dentist getting cavities filled. To my endless questioning on how could this happen, Shaune says to me, "I didn't hear anything." Of course, I was the one who left the marker in there...go figure. Dexter really is our little tattoo artist. Notice that he even remembered to color his own hands.

WHOA!!!!! That is pretty impressive. He wins the sneaky toddler of the day award for sure! Gotta love kids!

So sorry about the ear thing! I hate the thought of kids having surgery! Good luck, momma...good thing he is a brave little trooper!

WOW! That is super impressive. I love that he has some wipes too. I wonder about the thought process there!?

Seriously...I know this is not too far off for my own house walls. I've already had a few close calls where've I've left the marker down low. So...glad you did this post so I KNOW HOW TO GET IT OFF!!

Tell Shaune that that's when he needs to be the most worried... when he doesn't hear anything!

When things go quiet, things are most likely going wrong. ;o)
