The inevitable

I knew it would happen...I just wasn't sure where or when. Well, it happened a couple weeks ago and it happened on our newly painted walls in our new house! Max decided to express his artistic abilities on the wall behind our bed. We have elevation beds(which I highly recommend!) and Max likes to put the bed all the way up and roll his cars down the slant. I saw him doing it one day and thought nothing of. I left the room to do some things and then a few minutes later Max called me in and said, "Momma, I'm drawing". And, not thinking(or looking) I said, "Great, Max!" Little did I know, I left crayons under the bed and Max found them and used them! I couldn't get mad at him but I did tell him not to do it again. Honestly, I thought it was funny because every kid does it and when we've visited some friends and their kids wrote on the walls I laughed. I didn't laugh in front of Max but inside I was! This may not be the last time he does it and if he does it again, well, it's just a wall. I've learned in the short time that I have been a mom that these little things are just that, little things.
