Well, it has happened. That moment when your little, cute, sweet toddler decides to use his creativity to color a masterpiece. Most days when Caden wants to color he sits quietly in his highchair, confined to the small space so the crayons stay on the paper, and he colors away. This time, since he asked "please" so nicely and innocently, I allowed him to sit at his toddler table with his paper and crayons. Not 2 minutes later as I was attending to Davin's dirty diaper, I returned to find his masterpiece colored all over my kitchen wall. I had to laugh, especially since all that was coming out of his mouth was "Uh oh". It's as though he knew after he stepped back to admire his artwork that Mommy was not going to appreciate that so much. I'll have to admit, I actually thought it was pretty cute.....the innocent expression that just said "The wall looked like a huge blank piece of paper!"
After a short conversation on why the wall is not a piece of paper and crayons only belong on paper, I sent him skipping off to bring his container of baby wipes (he love being able to do "errands" for mommy -- I wonder how long that will last?!) . Crayola really knows what they are doing by making washable crayons. A few baby wipes and the masterpiece was no longer visible on the wall. (Baby wipes for kids are like the equivalent of ducktape for adults -- it fixes everything! )
So, here are a few pictures of Caden's "Uh oh" before we cleaned the wall (sorry they are kind of hard to see)....
