ON MY DINING ROOM FLOOR!!!????

HE WAS VERY QUIET WHEN I LOOKED OVER TO THE DINING ROOM HE WAS SITTING ON THE FLOOR - When Steve heard me say "Josiah you are not supposed to write on the floor!" Steve & I both walked to him and Steve bent down and said now I have to tale your marker away... not nice to write on floor. Immediately Josiah cried, "I'm drawing my Lijah" we sat on the floor with him and had to console our baby boy who was so devastated because we had not appreciated what he was doing... I immediately sat with him on the floor and hugged him and Steve bent to give himnmthe marker back as we told him, "thank you for making a pretty picture for Lijah, but you need to be careful to write on the paper only okay," still sobbing he said, "IT NO FIT MAMA ITS LIJAH'S GARDEN FOR HEAVEN"
I said," okay baby I like your picture for Elijah no write on the floor okay."

Thank God for washable markers!!!

    Well, now you have an excuse to mop it!! It is amazing how children perceive things. They are so precious and innocent. Sometimes monumental things happen when we are a child and it never really 'hits us' until we are older.

    I can say this since I am not there, HOW CUTE! I am sure it was somewhat of a disaster to clean up, but the thought is adorable. Suggestion... an AQUADOODLE! They are pretty big, lay on the floor, and use one water marker on the special canvas. They are fabulous and do not leave marks anywhere or waste paper. Just an idea...
