Markers and Toddlers Don’t Mix

I really should know better by now than to leave Brendan alone with markers for even 10 seconds. This is what his face looked like after coloring so sweetly on paper that I thought I could turn my back on him. He even colored inside his ears. Unfortunately these markers don’t wash off skin too well despite being “washable” markers. They come off of clothes alright but skin is a different story. The green faded to look like ugly bruises while the red look like welt marks. So Brendan walked around all day looking like he got into a rough fight but still as cute as ever.
