Happy It Wasn't The Walls

Filed Under: Family, Photography

This is what Dustyn was doing last week while I thought he was napping. I had cleaned out the extra closet in his room and put the markers on his dresser. My plan was to take them to the kitchen and put them with his crayons. Well I forgot and I guess they were too tempting for him. He colored on his hands, legs, face and a piece of paper. I am just so glad he didn’t color on the walls, dressers or train table!

    Why do they feel the need to color their bodies? WHY? I hardly ever bring out the markers here because every time it ends up on clothes, walls, eyeballs, etc...

    I know you are relieved it was just his skin that became a colorful exhibit of his artistic flare instead of your walls.
  12. Valerie says

    March 29, 2011 at 3:38 pm

    He has made himself very colourful. That's a boy. V

    And it happens in a "flash"! I've had 3 children and I teach Preschool, so I know that if you look away for a second, disaster can, and many times does, strike. But, even when it does, it makes a "good story" a few years down the line. Very cute. Mickie

    Now that's some colour!! :-) I guess it took some time to even get rid off it on the hands!

    We do not keep markers in our house for this very reason. Once my middle son, then two, found some paint and covered his face black and blue. I had to take him to the busstop looking like I'd just beaten him to meet my Kindergartner. I wasn't able to get pictures which I now regret. Your pictures are great!

    My sisters kid (who is almost 3) got into an ink pad that she had tucked away somewhere and put red handprints allllll up and down the hallway.. And funny enough, right now I am sitting with Seraphina in my lap and I thought I would occupy her with a marker and a piece of paper..that did not last very long..now we are both covered in (washable!!) blue marker-what was I thinking?! Great edit, by the way!

    Better that he colored himself instead of the walls and furniture, right? So much fun seeing you last night.
  30. Angee says

    March 29, 2011 at 9:39 am

    Love it. Glad he only used himself as the canvas.

    Oh My Goodness!!! This brought back memories of our dear friends' son. There was never a naptime that he just took a nap. {agreed you are lucky it wasn't the walls!!} ;o){adorable capture} be blessed t

    Looks like he wanted to be as colorful as spring flowers! ;)
  34. Jessica says

    March 29, 2011 at 8:59 am

    Hehe....ya been there. Two of mine were being super quiet in their room, went in and they were quite busy coloring all over the walls. ACK!
  35. Robin says

    March 29, 2011 at 8:53 am

    Wow, and looks like he used a wide variety of colors! I've had writing on the wall (sharpie on wallpaper, ink pen on paint). Mr. Clean magic eraser works wonders if that ever happens! Cute capture, btw!

    Too funny! {I like that you show the SOOC, too.} I've gotten some recent pictures around our house that look similar... :) Our girls colored on my kitchen wall with crayons once. I actually haven't cleaned it off. I kinda like it! Oh, but I won't tell them that until they're much much older! ;)

Our last 1st tooth loss. 😢 She is our youngest Our last 1st tooth loss. 😢 She is our youngest kid to lose their first tooth.

It’s been loose for awhile, but when she bit a lollipop at school today it became super loose and started bleeding. Then she was crying. I went to pick her up and by the time I had gotten there she had pulled it out, it had stopped bleeding, and she had stopped crying. Still can’t believe she is old enough to be losing teeth. 🦷

Nothing spectacular, but she was excited. Of course I had to film it so it was bokeh, cause it is so much prettier that way.
