Stickers and Markers

Today, being the brilliant parenting genius that I am, I let my children play with stickers while I busied myself with other things. They were so quiet and happy playing together that I didn't realize they were sticking all the stickers (multicolored ladybugs and tiny American flags) to the front of the fish aquarium. I ended up having to scrap that off with a drywall knife.

A couple of days ago, while I was cooking supper I let the kids draw with some washable markers. I noticed Caleb run off to the bathroom and when he came out, he looked like this:


When Rob came down for dinner, he asked, "Caleb! What's on your face!?!" "Glasses!" Caleb said proudly. Rob and I exchanged looks and muffled laughs. It hadn't even struck me that it looked like glasses (goggles maybe!) but I thought it was pretty neat how he had made glasses for himself.

It did wash off pretty easily, which is good because he had also decorated both arms and hands and had taught Annalise to do the same.
