"Okay. Go ahead. Draw on the furniture." Explanation: My toddler is drawing on everything in sight with a pencil. Earlier to day she drew on the floor and the oven door with her crayons. The Old Me would have leaped up and distracted her and cleaned up. But now...well...I'm just going to sit here.

  • It doesn't stop. I used the kid's bathroom yesterday, because it was closer, and as I sat down on the toilet and looked at the wall opposite, I noticed a string of letters and numbers written on the wall in pen. My boys are 5 and 6. they blamed each other, so I can't figure out which one did it. the oldest can spell better than the youngest, and this didn't spell anything, but it looks like his hand writing. I just decided not to care. What's the point?

    We have never purchased new furniture. Since I got pregnant with the first one, we have always had other people's cast offs. I refuse to buy a new couch until they are all 3 in college or out of the house.

  • That's why they invented washable crayons!

    When my son was about 3, we bought a new living room couch, and a couple of weeks later while I was cooking he took a crayon to the couch -- all over it, I mean everywhere, while I was in the kitchen with my back turned to him. I thought it was ruined, but it came right out. We really tested the warrenty on the fabric on that one. I had never explained to him that drawing was not for the couch, but for paper, so he thought he would give it a shot.

  • Did not having a reaction stop the madness? My DD is *loving* taking dirt out of the plants, as if this is the funniest thing in the worls, she drops handfuls of dirt on the floor and cackles. Toddlers are TOO MUCH FUN!!
