Mommy's Little Artist


We spent the weekend with Charlie's parents. The weekend was fun and I had the opportunity to get some rest. It is always nice to have extra hands around to help with the boys. We do not get that very often, since both sets of grandparents live out of town. Micah still sleeps in a pack-n-play when we stay at someone's house. He switches well from that to a toddler bed. When we went in to get him this morning, we discovered that he had a Sharpie marker hidden in his bed and had him a good time. He colored all over his pack-n-play, comforter, sheet, Mickey Mouse as well as his body. He had a mustache and whiskers painted on his face. He also had it on his legs, knees, hands, arms and toes. He looked at my like, "What, what did I do????" I did not know whether to laugh or to cry. He ruined his pack-n-play, so for that reason I wanted to cry. But it was one of those tender toddler moments that will be remembered for years to come. The above picture is what it looked like after the first attempt to clean him up. He still has marker everywhere. They will be fun to explain to his teacher at preschool tomorrow.
