I may have mentioned that Cate is not to be trusted with writing instruments of any kind. Thus far, two pieces of furniture, several outfits and multiple layers of skin have fallen prey to her abuse of such things. I honestly don't know how she keeps intercepting pens, markers, and the like. The other day, she found a highlighter. Marc and I decided she was painting her nails with it. She had highlighted all ten of her fingernails and was busted after she had moved on to the toes.
A few nights ago, I sat down to read the kids our two favorite bedtime books: Good Night Moon
and How Do I Love You? Below you will find my unfortunate discovery...
While my initial reaction was sadness at the defacement of our precious nighttime ritual, I began to swell with pride when I realized her careful attention to the detail of the comb, the brush, AND the bowl full of mush. However, I'm not sure what she has against that poor little boy (and notice that he is drawing on the wall on his very worst of days!). Now, whenever we read the books, she whispers, "Oh nooo" as we turn each tainted page.
