We have been trying very hard to have Lillian pick her toys up once she is finished playing with them. It is a struggle for all of us - it is much easier to just leave them on the floor. But pretty soon you can't walk on the floor without stepping on something.
We also STRESS that markers, pens, crayons, et all are only for paper. Yesterday I noticed some marker drawings on her white chair. Wasn't too upset over the marks on the chair but was upset if she had decided to draw on the chair.
When I questioned Lillian on the situation, she said she was drawing on paper but got carried away. Fine I said but then asked where she got the marker from. Without missing a beat she said, "I found it in your bedroom. Now markers don't belong in your bedroom, do they mommy?"
No Lillian they don't, but neither do they belong drawn on furniture.
About Me
- CMAA
- NC, United States
- Lillian came into this world on February 18, 2006. She was pulled out of mommy at 9:15 pm. [Lillian wants to say something - Yes, I was being stubborn and decided after getting the labor process started at 12:45 am, I really just wanted to go back up and rest! But no, the doctor wouldn't let me. They put these suction cups on my head and tried to get me out but I held strong. Finally they came and got me through mommy's belly!] Lillian weighed in at 7 lbs 12 oz and was 21 inches long.
