If I wasn't so tired and stressed...

I would have found it all very funny!

Actually, that's a lie...I found it funny anyway.

I was tending to my daily chores and such when Landon came running in and told me, "Mom, I really, really like that toddler paint and paint brush that you bought for me. It's the perfect size for my hands."

HUH??? I was confused, until he took me and showed me his creation.

WHITE PAINT was everywhere...all over my washer, dryer, my beautiful shelf, and yes, he had even painted on of my crystal vases for me.

Only...it. wasn't. paint.


It was...







Needless to say, we no longer have 'toddler paint' in our house. It's history. But, I did save the crystal vase he painted for me. I'm sure I will look back on it one day and smile and laugh...but not today. It was one of my favorite vases that I use to put fresh flowers in.

Aww...just remember these moments and when he's a man you can get him a box of white out for Christmas. LOL

Love the toddler paint. This sure put a smile on my face. But don't worry I am looking at our desk right now and seeing if we have any toddler paint. Thanks for the warning.
Have a fabulous day!

I think the vase is now priceless. :) Just think, you now have a great conversational piece. When you showcase it on your table, you'll always smile and remember the day he said, "Mom, I really like that toddler paint." So go ahead, show it to everyone. :)
