The terrible 2's beginning early

A couple weeks Isaac and I had quite the day. I was in the bedroom, when Isaac comes walking in with a red sharpie marker, with the lid missing. I knew I was in trouble. I grabbed the marker from him, and walked out relieved to find my couch untouched. This is what I did find though.... His art fun started off halfway innocent, with a pad of paper, but then his legs were too big of a temptation. Then, naturally it was time to move onto the floor.

But ah, the drawer the marker was found in, was but an empty canvas


It is colored on both sides. Luckily that part can be hidden.



He drew a little bit on the front, but luckily not too bad, it could've been much worse.



And there's our little culprit.



I was able to get it off of the floor with nail polish remover, but no luck on the cabinets. We do have paint in the garage that'll probably match though.


Next? It's bathtime. I wasn't sure how much would come off, but it was worth a try.



His water turned pink from all the scrubbing.



Finished product. More came off then I thought :)


After his bath, Brad called. I hadn't quite got his diaper on, and thought he'd be fine to be naked for a couple minutes. As I was talking to Brad, I look over to see Isaac peeing on his rug and sticking his fingers in it. Grrr... I was not a happy momma that day.


Now whenever Isaac see's his artwork, he says "BIG no no" Hopefully that means it won't happen again. At least I'm going to be more careful about leaving markers within his reach :)



On a happier note, here is a super cute video of Isaac singing his "eieio" song.

Sounds like you had a day like me but mine is 4 years old and it was the second time she took a sharpie to her white bunk bed! So frustrating!!!! But in the end they are just things and its kind of a fun memory lol He sure is a cutie!
