Toddler Shift

Just a quick note to describe the disaster that ensued in the short amount of time I was unloading the dishwasher. After breakfast, Liliana went into the living room, which is currently, but not permanently, her play room. This has always worked out well for us. She sits and eats breakfast while I make coffee and start to clean the kitchen. Usually when she is done she goes off to play while I finish cleaning up. This morning was like any other, she wolfed down her french toast and banana as was ready to go play.

I left the living room a bit of a disaster last night with all her toys spread out and the toy box open. After about 5 minutes I came to join her in the living room to find every single book pulled out of the toy chest, her face and hands covered in blue marker, the last three pages torn out of her Knuffle Bunny book and blue marker on the hardwood floors. So far I haven't found any blue marker on anything permanent like furniture. It easily washed of baby and floor. Time to re-think my system!
