The Painted Baby

Our sweet little baby is slowly turning into a very curious toddler! He will get into EVERYTHING he possibly can when left alone for more than 10 seconds, paint being his destruction method of choice. The first picture was a result of walking out of the craft room for about three minutes. When I left he was happily watching Parker play the computer. I returned to find that our "sweet baby" had climbed onto my counter height work counter, carried a can of black paint to my freshly painted computer desk, pried the lid off, and dumped the remaining BLACK paint all over himself, my desk and the carpet!!! And what was Parker doing? NOTHING... I am positive that the child didn't even know what was happening. :) After a LOT of scrubbing our little boy was squeeky clean. I'm sorry that I can't say the same for the desk and carpet.

I don't have a picture of G after the second paint incident because thankfully I wasn't home.(can't blame me for this one!) :) This one happened while Charles was trying to get the older boys ready for school, he walked in and was greeted by a cute boy with persimmon hands and face. He cleaned the boy, but when I came home I was greeted by a colorful computer chair.

I am SO thankful that his obsession with paint seems to be over, or maybe it's just because I now have all of the paint in the house locked up. :)

Better to be paint than other things toddlers are known to paint with! ;)

Boys! I remember my oldest child getting midnight blue paint all over my new beige carpet. He is now 11 and glad that mommy let him live to see another day. :)

So, have you been wanting a new computer desk and chair? Cause here's your chance. ha ha!
