I’m finally doing it! Our page may not be cute, my entries may not be eloquent, but at least this will be a way to keep track of our life without having to find my journal and a pen…why is it that I can always find a marker but never a pen? Speaking of markers… the other day while I was engrossed in planning our anniversary trip I noticed that William had found a marker. I erroneously assumed that it was a washable marker. (Why would I ever buy markers that aren’t washable?) I gave him a few sheets of paper and went back to my planning. A short time later when he walked out of my office still clutching the marker I decided that the worst he could do was to write on a wall or two and that writing on a few walls would keep him busy for at least a half an hour. Furthermore it would only take me a minute or two to clean it off- a perfect solution for William’s entertainment. Thankfully it never occurred to him to write on any walls with his permanent marker, but he did decorate his toys, his pants and MY pants! The bright side? It did buy me some time and I left his markings on the toys for his posterity. I must say it wasn’t one of my better moments as a mother but hey- with all that planning we’re going to have a great time in France!
