The best pic in the bunch is the one of her, after having decorated herself with markers! PRICELESS!!<br /><br />You are a tolerant Mama &#39;cause I&#39;m not sure I&#39;d be so good about all that &quot;art&quot; all over my walls. Yet again, your parenting skills make us all look inadequate...<br /><br />Teresa =)Teresa =)http://www.blogger.com/profile/16569644850185853404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8338568744176253243.post-55461138057651737722009-10-17T22:29:20.969-05:002009-10-17T22:29:20.969-05:00What an artist!!

He was very proud. Luckily, I&#39;ve been needing to paint those walls and haven&#39;t gotten around to it yet.

How do they find these things? When we moved into a brand new apartment my sweet 2 yr old decided to write my sister&#39;s name all over the brand new cabinets with a Sharpie... I was proud she knew how to spell....NOT!Bethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16346233465756948090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8338568744176253243.post-8197599318176731252009-10-14T20:05:34.254-05:002009-10-14T20:05:34.254-05:00I can relate, but maybe not to that extent...Emma really did a masterpiece. Anyway, just wanted to mention a couple of ideas...had friends that allowed the artwork to flow on the walls in the laundry room only. Also we have painted one of the walls in our school room with dryerase paint. So the dryerase markers could be used on it. Good luck!jewelmcrobertshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01868647888129050419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8338568744176253243.post-57177266126912479932009-10-14T18:43:47.972-05:002009-10-14T18:43:47.972-05:00Both of my girls did that but then each moved on to going through tons and tons of paper. Friends and family members keep Ahnalin in recycled paper and that can be frustrating too, because she feels each piece is so precious that it must be kept. UGH!!! So....I have &quot;art&quot; all over the house. UGH!Goosegirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10438233253491253506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8338568744176253243.post-62773064845867313452009-10-14T18:08:26.504-05:002009-10-14T18:08:26.504-05:00OH no!!!! I have a 20 month old who loves writing on the walls with crayons, since I have all markers under lock and key too. Or so I thought. The other day he took a black permanent marker from the junk drawer and wrote all over the refrigerator. When I caught him, he was squealing with delight. I had to scrub it for about half an hour with Ajax cleanser, since the magic eraser was no match for black marker. I hope they grow out of this vandalism stage very soon because I&#39;m getting white hair!Jolenehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02974124069244449559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8338568744176253243.post-9973775874266618442009-10-14T17:55:59.737-05:002009-10-14T17:55:59.737-05:00LOL ok just HAD to laugh as our Phu Tho girls both do that too!!!

I never had an artist, and I too kept the markers, crayons pens, etc under lock and key. I had a SIL who just let her kids go to town, and they literally had to not just paint put do new dry wall in some spots from when she had tried to clean, and taken all the wall board off......ugh.<br />She&#39;s an adorable little imp isn&#39;t she?Anitahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11129662082248482002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8338568744176253243.post-11914098441441267762009-10-14T16:30:26.141-05:002009-10-14T16:30:26.141-05:00Don&#39;t call me crazy, but try Aqua Net hairspray. My son had a marker-on-the-walls phase and I went through several cans of Aqua Net. Saturate it, then clean them with a mild cleaner. Try it...no promises, but it might work!Janellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01045666703675046860noreply@blogger.com
