A TWO YEAR OLD AND A PEN!
OK- I WAS FILING OUT MADDI'S B-DAY INVITATIONS WITH A PERMANENT MARKER AND WALKED INTO THE LIVING ROOM A MOMENT TO RETURN FINDING HER SCRIBBLING ALL OVER THEM TO THE POINT YOU CAN'T EVEN SEE WHAT I WROTE. SO I DISCIPLINE HER AND THAT'S THAT.WELL- I DECIDED TO GO GET THE MAIL- I WAS PROBABLY GONE MAYBE 30 SECONDS WHILE KENZIE SAT ON THE COMPUTER AND MATT ON THE COACH WATCHING TV. I RETURN TO MADDI SCRIBBLING ALL OVER THE BACK OF THE LOVESEAT, WHICH IS EXPOSED TO THE OPEN. ALL I SAW WAS HER ACTION WITH THE PEN, AT THAT POINT ALL I COULD THINK WAS OH NO SHE GOT THE SHARPIE MARKER AGAIN!!! PRAISE THE LORD IT WAS ONLY A PEN!
PEOPLE- I SHOULD HAVE TAKEN A PICTURE! I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW MUCH SHE ACCOMPLISHED IN THAT 30 SECONDS!! NO EXAGGERATION- THE ENTIRE BACK OF THE LOVESEAT WAS COVERED, TOP TO BOTTOM AND MIDDLE!
I'M SURE IT MUST HAVE BEEN REALLY FUN! WHEN I SAW HER STANDING THERE SHE JUST LOOKED AT ME AND HURRIED UP TO GET HER LAST FEW SCRIBBLES IN , AS I STOOD THERE MOUTH WIDE OPENED AND SPEECHLESS-CUZ SHE KNEW SHE WAS IN FOR IT! SO AGAIN I DISCIPLINED HER AND CARRIED HER OFF FOR NAP TIME. SHE WAS SO UPSET SHE CONTIUED TO CRY FOR SOME TIME UNTIL SHE WAS PRACTICALLY HYPERVENTILATING!
PRAISE THE LORD AGAIN WE HAVE A WONDERFUL CLEANER THAT I KNEW WOULD GET IT OUT-BUT WITH ALOT OF WORK CUZ THE COUCH BACK IS JUST COVERED IN FABRIC ITS NOT STURDY SO YOU COULDN'T SCRUB HARD. THE CLEANER IS NOT WONDERFUL ENOUGH THAT IT WOULD HAVE REMOVED THE PERMANENT MARKER SO I AM SO THANKFUL!!!
AH--- 2 YEAR OLDS, YOU GOTTA LOVEM!

I'm surprised you even noticed Maddi's work...my first concern would have been on Matt and the coach....on getting Matt off of the poor coach.
It would have been better if Matt was sleeping on the couch and Maddie colored him...that would have been classic. I'll have to talk to her about that...sleep light, Matt.
