I learned that, even sitting less than four feet away from me, Olivia can get into the most amazing things. Up this time: a mini-sharpie marker Ellen must've dropped who knows how long ago. Normally I toss them on sight. Permanent markers do not make daddy smile! Somehow I missed this one, and now Olivia looks like she murdered Barney with a kitchen knife. Swear to God, I only looked away for 5 minutes! Big, long, lurid purple spots and streaks from toe to face (face! sharpie!) now adorn everyone's favorite princess.
Alexis did that one day. She found one in the basement and when she got really quiet I went to go see what she was up to and found that was covered in green!
Rubbing alcohol works well to remove it and so do some baby wipes.

Posted by: ellen on October 22, 2007 06:46 AMJust wait - I bought my neices a fingerpaint set. The oldest, being about 6 at the time, got it off the shelf for the twins. As you might guess, this went poorly. Apparently, the twins painted themselves, their hair, clothes, the dogs, floor, walls, etc.
I get the feeling I'm still a favorite uncle for that one. Not so much with the favorite brother, though...
