Oh Ava......I put Ava down for her nap today, just like every other day. Today, however, she was surprisingly quiet right away. That should've triggered my attention immediately, but I have a cold and wasn't feeling well so I had laid down on the couch. When she got done "napping" she came out of her room all sorts of happy and excited to be done with her "nap". A few minutes later I went to her room to get something and this is what I saw.....
yeah...that'd be play lipstick (thanks Aunt Corinne) all over her walls and bed. I must say, she is a smart one....she was very stealth-like while drawig her masterpiece and when lectured on how we don't draw on the walls or our bed she says....."I'm sorry Mommy, I'm a big girl. I won't do it again". How can one get mad at that? We made her clean it up (luckily it came off with a wet washcloth) and told her if she EVER did it again, I would throw away ALL her pretties. This made her basically have a complete meltdown. Perhaps it will leave an impression and she won't do it again. We'll see.
This would be my 3 year-old who insisted in riding in the infant seat on the shopping cart. Go figure.
