Chocolate Icecream!
Ink Pens + Walls = No No
Leon,
You are two years old and I am your Mommy, so cleaning up big messes comes with the territory. Today your messes included covering yourself with chocolate icecream after lunch and creating an ink pen mural on your bedroom wall before bed time. The chocolate was an easy cleanup, I just put you straight in the shower and sprayed you down. You thought this was lots of fun and jumped around like you were playing in a sprinkler. You are such a silly boy!
While folding laundry in the living room I realized the house was too quiet, which as I have learned is usually a sign of trouble. I walked into your room where you were innocently stacking blocks on the floor. I thought to myself "Oh, I was worried for nothing." until I turned around and saw the wall. You had found an ink pen and scribbled all over the wall. I explained to you that it is a big no no to draw on the walls. You wanted to help clean, so I gave you a wet wash cloth to scrub the wall, which did nothing to remove the ink scribbles. Thankfully I had a Magic Eraser (one of the greatest inventions ever) and it cleaned the ink right off.
Some days it feels like I just follow you around cleaning up all your messes. I heard a quote somewhere that said "Having a toddler in your house is like using a blender without a lid." I can testify that it is a valid statement. But even on these messy days I absolutely love being your Mommy. You fill my every days with lots fun and smiles. I love you Leon!
~Love, your Mama
