Nine days left til we move, slightly longer til our current house is on the market and this is what my daughter does. With a permanent marker. I was so mad I thought my head was going to pop completely off. I'm at a loss as to how to react in these situations. My natural reaction is not healthy for anyone but I don't have any other tools at my disposal. I don't recall this sort of thing being addressed in "What to Expect the Toddler Years." Dear Abby, Super Nanny, Emily Post, Martha, Oprah, ANYBODY-what do I do to impress upon this child that this is unacceptable? In the meantime, there isn't enough chocolate, caffeine or shoes to get me out of this mood at this point.
I got most of the marker off the toilet. Getting it off the porcelain was easy but the plastic parts was harder and I think I rubbed my fingerprints off my fingers in the process.

yikes, that is quite a work of art. A regular pencil eraser will get that off. Also, I want the password :)
Sorry about the marker. This won't help the solution but as soon as my kids started coloring everytime I handed them something to write with I said "remember paper only - and no coloring in books". She's at a frustrating age I really think once they turn 4 life is easy until the teen years.
Can I get the password?
I would like your password please- I enjoy reading your blog and seeing pics of your beautiful children- and even the marker on the toilet!
Yes, password please. I think I see some talent on the toilet seat. I really like they way she included the little plastic dots on the sides. You can buy another toilet seat for next to nothing. After all, it will be someone else's before too long.
I'd also like your password. I enjoy reading about you and your family. Hang in there.
Yikes- permanent marker! Frustrating. Sorry I don't have any tips on what to do since we haven't even started time outs yet. I'll take the password!
