Yikes! I don't know what you do about that. My advice would be to call Stanley Steamer.
Is she banned for life from crayons?
Mom
Son's reply to me:
She apparently just trying out different mediums:
crayon on paper
crayon on painted wall (eggshell finish)
crayon on carpet (medium pile)
My reply to him:
Apparently, we have another artist in the family.....an experimental artist.
Isn't this cute? Paybacks are rough.
ReplyDeleteoops! she is the artist.
ReplyDeleteUh oh! :)
ReplyDeleteGiggle yep another budding artist.
ReplyDeleteOh dear.
ReplyDeleteA few paper towels and an iron will rid that carpet of its masterpiece!!!
lesson here: when they are quiet never, ever assume they are just sitting and looking at a picture book.
ReplyDeleteOh boy.. I remember a pot of dark green paint on a deep pile light gray carpet. It's a rite of passage.
ReplyDeleteAw, but it is so cute though.;) It reminds me of my little sister, that apparently drew a whole masterpiece on the wall beneath her baby cot. When we were moving and the cot was removed, the wall was riddled with abstract drawings in multitude of colours.;))

ReplyDeleteWhen we moved out of our previous house, after the furniture was emptied from the living room, we discovered our daughter had drawn a huge mural behind the floor length curtains. With markers.
ReplyDeleteOh no ... that must have been a shock to see! Glad your son handled it in good humor.
ReplyDeleteIt's genetic! Oh my stars - poor parents to clean that up. ha ha
