The Pepa (my 2 y/o daughter) is the fastest scribbler known to earth, she has put her signature on everything that we own and I unsigned it all testing several cleaning products being the most effective the Magic Eraser of the bald guy (you know, I don’t remember the name, too lazy to get up and look I’m not trying to make a comercial), it takes the stains almost completely off, unfortunately it takes a layer of the surface of the object cleaned too.
Her brothers and sister learned to scribble on paper, but she had access to crayons before I could teach her because the siblings left them at her reach… now she thinks is ok to scribble no matter how many times she helped clean up or sat in time out.
We had just came back from picking up the kids from school and I was preparing them a snack then distributed and Pepita was not around, I thought maybe she fell sleep because she was too quiet… I went to look for her to give her the snack and I found her with her favorite color crayon… (Yup RED) in one hand and her bedroom covered in adorable pictures of odd little humanoid figures and scribbles… grrrr!!!!
Pepita went to the timeout chair all by herself with her head looking down at the floor; I didn’t even have to say anything I just gasped and she knew… I said …those beautiful pictures belong on paper Pepa!!! (I don’t want her to think I don’t appreciate her art but…ACK!!)
The crayons seem to color deeper and put more of them selves in the Texas heat…
I HATE THE HEAT!
First I killed the crayon which was already almost dead it had no peel and it was little and shinny and semi-melted so I grabbed it with a paper towel and squashed it then poked it with a tooth pick and threw it in the trash.
I went for my favorite cleaning thing and I cleaned the wall which now has a subtle pink shade, but the worse is her bed, it is a toddler white plastic chunky bed, the eraser took the hard lines of the scribbles but it also gave it a smudged pink stain…
Pepa sat in time out longer this time (she usually sits for two minutes)I feel bad poor Pepita but she needs to learn (snif! she was crying mommy is mad at me!!! bua I’m not really)
How do I get the pink stain out??? Help!!
The scribbles up there are only a detail in a little area of her bed (bed was all covered both boards side rails and even under the mattress). The humanoid figures represented me and her…how can I get mad at her for that lovely picture???
