PSA for those with Hardwood Floors and Kids

Yesterday morning I caught Alaina happily playing on Olivia's floor with a marker. She drew all over herself too. Mommy was not happy! To be fair there was a piece of paper on the floor with a drawing on it. Yay for drawing, boo for not keeping it on the paper =)

It wasn't the washable kind so I panicked thinking about how to get it off. Googled markers on hardwoods and found out that you can use toothpaste to get it off. Tried it this morning and it worked perfect! So relieved. Lesson learned, must keep markers locked up at all times!

Shortly after that incident I went to put Corinne for a nap. Heard some commotion, but didn't think much of it. It was Alaina dumping the Cheerios all over the kitchen. Darn it! I usually always put the cereal back in the pantry, but apparently forgot this morning.

This is Alaina giving herself a pat on the head. She does this when she knows she is in trouble!

Thanks for helping me clean up Alaina. I know you are a curious 2 year old so Mommy needs to be more vigilant!




P.S. Thank you, thank you, thank you to Grandmpa and Grandma Harvey, Grandma Hopkins, and Stacy for donating to Step Up for Down Syndrome! We really appreciate your support!

I hope this doesn't mean Alaina will want "tats" when she's older. Too cute. And, you guys are very welcome for the donation to what is now our favorite cause. Have a great week!

Body art and the sound of hundreds of Cheerios hitting hitting the floor--sounds like a good morning.
