Markers and Quiet Time



Abby has been having quiet time. It's basically having a nap all sweetened up so it doesn't sound so bad. I tell her she can sleep, read or play with her toys but she has to stay in her bedroom. Not that she has a choice...I've put a child lock on the door so she can't get out. I know, sounds mean doesn't it? So today, Abby was playing nicely so after an hour went to get her out. I opened the door and discovered Abby's lovely art work. I'm not sure how the marker ended up in her room, but she had a great time. No wonder she played so quietly!

I was worried about getting the marker off the wall and carpet, but it came off really easy. I recently bought Don Aslett's Perky Spot cleaner and it works WONDERS on my carpet. I would suggest that everyone should get some. It's oh so fabulous!!! The website is www.cleanreport.com if you're at all interested.

So I guess from now on I'm going to have to take a double check of Abby's room before I leave her unattended in there. She's already unloaded her dresser, pulled out all the wipes and now the marker art work. At least I was smart enough to take out the diaper rash cream and the lotions before I let her at it!

I'm glad you found something to clean it off with. I'm afraid I would have been very frustrated. I really need to be a little more laid back. I'm glad that quiet time is working for you.

Oh dear! What a little stinker. Knowing you though, you just sighed, hugged her and ran for the camera. I'd have screamed! I have a lot to learn in the next 5 months don't I?

I'm going to have to check out that cleaner. You have quite the little artist! I'm glad that it came up so easily for you. :)

That is soooo funny! I swear, your kids do the funniest things! Atleast they are funny later, anyway. I will have to look into some of that cleaner...

I'm just waiting for the day when Lilian discovers crayons and uses the wall as her paper... Remember when Josh and Brandon colored all over the walls in my family room?? :) I think we used Soft Scrub to get it all off.
