Ohh 2 year olds! You gotta love them, AND have a sense of humor, or you might send them off to the circus or the zoo until they are older. But then you would get them back and want to send them off again because they would be 3 and that is another set of issues!
This darling little boy came running out of his room the other day just as proud as could be! I just had to laugh, I remembered back when another little boy came running out of the same room, at the same age, having done the same thing, only 10 years earlier! But how things have changed….
1st child colors all over self with marker: I scream, thinking it might be blood, when I realize it is not, I cry. I quickly wash him up and don’t tell anyone because they might think I am a bad Mom.
2nd child colors all over self with marker: Again, it scares me, I choke back tears that somehow for 5min, I had no idea what they were doing. I quickly wash the child up and tell Dad when he gets home.
3rd child colors all over self with marker: I am stunned I would have another kids that would do this! I wash them off, slightly annoyed, and swear I am never going to buy markers again! My husband thinks the child has a rash when he gets her ready for bed, nope just marker.
4th child colors all over self with marker: Now I am mad, I throw all the markers away and declare that we will never have markers in the house again! I ask the bigger kids why they let the little one do this?! I wash the child up when I have the chance. The bigger kids tell Dad when he gets home, they think it is funny.
5th child colors all over self with marker: Really? I decide they all must just be artists. My husband walks around singing, ” I fought the marker… and the marker won!” We throw the little one in the pool to wash off.
6th child colors all over self with marker: I think what is wrong with him? Is he O.K.? why did it take so long! Should we take him in for testing, maybe he isn’t developing at the correct rate??? I also suggest to him to use blue next time, that is my favorite color and would have looked nice with the red and purple…
It’s also a day and a half later and it is still there, I suppose if it doesn’t come off in the pool today I will have to actually do some scrubbing. : )
