The writting on the wall...and sheets, comforter, furniture, toys...etc.

Carter is my little artist, a few times he's gotten a hold of a pencil or marker and decided to display his masterpieces for all to see, we are so proud... Ha...Ha...Ha...

This is what we woke up to yesterday morning, apparently he hid a pencil in his bed before we tucked him in. In the morning this is what I found.


About a year ago Marks brother, sister-in-law, and their 4 kids came over to see Nolan, he was only a few months old. His youngest niece had brought a dry erase board and markers to entertain herself on their 2.5 hour car ride. I guess our house wasn't exciting enough for her so she brought everything inside but unfortunately forgot 1 RED marker. I didn't see it, Carter did, of course.

The night before my little artist went to work was a rough night, Nolan was just a little guy and had a bad night, therefore we were both up ALL night. He finally fell back to sleep just as Carter was waking up for the day. Mark had already gone to work so I got Carter a sippy and some breakfast, sat him in bed and hoped he'd sit still long enough for me to get a little bit of sleep. Well he let me sleep alright... and while I slept he worked and worked hard!

His car, thankfully since its a dry erase marker it did come off easily.

Again, it did come off the table, but our alarm clock still bares Carters masterpiece!

Now for our bed. Believe it or not he actually did all of this while I was sleeping in this bed! How I didn't hear him I don't know. The markings went around the entire perimeter of our bed. Unfortunately dry eraser does NOT come off of fabric.

This happened a few days prior to the red marker fiasco, you'd think we would have learned our lesson, but no, we didn't! We still use this comforter every day, despite his lovely artwork its the softest comforter ever... like butta... so a little marker or not its not going anywhere!

So there it is... As you can see the marker masterpieces haven't happened in over a year. ;) Crayola washables are a wonderful thing. I suppose the pencil drawings aren't that bad, I'm sure a magic eraser will take care of it. If not we have spare paint in the garage. I don't know, I'm kinda thinking it should stay, he did a pretty good job, wouldn't you say?

We do have plenty of artwork on paper but paper is for the average 3 year old... Obviously our son is far above average!
