The Life and Times of a Blogging Mother

Dear Livia,

Yesterday you sucked the heck out of a brown marker. I only know this because you got awfully quiet while coloring so I came around the corner and noticed your mouth full of BROWN SALIVA. Such a copious amount of brown could only be in your mouth if you sucked the thing to death. I was not pleased. But of course I had to get the camera before scolding you properly (and then rinsing your teeth clean).

R - I can definently one up that. This morning I asked 7 year old son to sit at the table with 18 month old brother ( in booster chair ) while I ran outside to water a few plants. I came in to discover that 18 month old now had his name written in black Sharpie on one arm, a heart on the other and very large black nipples. Next time I will ask 18 month old to watch 7 year old. A day in the life.

When my stepsons were four and five, I came home to find them COVERED in marker - and every color imaginable. Their dad had fallen asleep (he was a railroader at the time and was exhausted a lot) and they had decided to have a marker war. I don't think I'll ever forget that!

Both of these marker stories remind me of how a mom can be both hilariously entertained and highly irritated at the same time. ; )
