Anyway, we have a box of crayons and markers that we pull out frequently. And she often eyes a stray pen lying around and asks to play with it. Until recently she kept mostly to paper (sometimes the paper was in books, but that's just a minor detail).
The other day I found ball point pen on the big red chair. It's almost all out now.
Today Taisim was playing upstairs, and she has a renewed interest in the bath toys, so she's been opening the bathroom drawers a lot and pulling out toys. I kinda forgot we had bathtub crayons in there. And she didn't show me when she found them. So I didn't know to get paper for her. And she find her own canvas. Our bedroom wall.
Here's the picture of her work:
And here's how pissed she was when we stopped her:
So she was tired, which contributed to how upset she was. We showed her that she could color on paper or the bathtub, but no-go.
She keeps us on our toes. It never occurred to me that one of the kids would write on our walls. Well, I was wrong :-)

I know what you are going through. Gavin is the one in our family who loves to color on walls. We have wallpaper so thank goodness for magic eraser. :)
