Who's going to create smell-a-blog?

I would send them a smell-a-blog of roses.  I would have preferred roses over what I got when I opened the door to Kayden's room the other day...


These nasty little hands, which I normally find so precious and nom-able, made a MESS.  To say the least.


Kayden seemed ecstatic to show me her 'artwork'...


And confused as to why I was making the "I might die/puke/cry/whywhywhy" face...


But as soon as she realized that I was laughing at the same time as almost crying and puking she went along gleefully to show me that she didn't miss a spot on anything she could reach.




You would think I would only let this happen once right?  Wrong.  This was actually the second time.  The first time, I woke up to her happily occupying herself in her room so I decided to get some things done.  Twenty minutes later, I went in, to find a mess, not as bad (but obviously always bad), but a mess none the less.  I did the whole sha-band of wipe down and vowed that it would never happen again.  Not on my watch at least.  (Daddy was lucky enough to be at work).  Welp,  the other day I heard her wake up from her nap, and went in right away leaving her no time, or so I thought.  She is a silent artist.  A sneaky one.  A proud one.  And hopefully a never-again-one.  

I recently came across a blogger who had posted about her daughter smuggling in a purple permanent marker ... eeek! Ya.  <-- Take a look.  Scary!

My point...

Kayden, I will always support you.  Shoot for the stars baby girl.  But I plead and beg for you to never show your artistic abilities in the following ways:

  • Purple permanent markers.  Or any color for that matter.  Mommy's very anal about the walls, lets put that out there right now.
  • No poop anymore, that'd be great, thank you!
  • Playing hairdresser on anyone that is an alive, moving, breathing, creature.
  • Make-up disasters.  Nail polish disasters.  Paint disasters.  My poor poor carpet.
  • Carving.  Somehow wood shouts "please carve into me" to all children.  
I'm sure there are many more scary art projects in the future that I can't think of/will never think of until they happen.  I plan and hope to keep Kayden's creative side very busy!
