THE WRITINGS ON THE WALL

A few days ago Nate got into an art box while in Room Time. He just dumped all the contents out but that was it so I picked up everything and put it back where he couldn't reach it......at least I thought I did.

Today, when Room Time was over, I walked into his room and saw that he was playing with his toys. I noticed he had scribbled on a cardboard box with a red crayon.

At first I thought, "Oh no! I must have overlooked that when I was cleaning up his art box."

Then I thought, "Wow that's really good that he just colored on the cardboard".

Then when I turned around, I saw it..............!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!







Nate decided the cardboard canvas wasn't adequate so he began displaying his artistic talents all over the walls, door, his dresser, our suitcase.....basically anything BESIDES the box.

So, to sum it up...we were BOTH punished today. Nate, because he has to learn sometime that it's unacceptable to color on walls. Me, because I get to spend the afternoon on an intimate date with Mr. Magic Eraser since I was careless and left a crayon within his reach. ARGH!

Here's another photo for fun of Nate at the Cracker Barrel. He prefers to do things the more complicated way. ha!
