Ephraim's Crayon Incident (April 8)

Well, it seems that Ephraim has finally had his turn to color on the walls. You may recall that Jacob did it once. I was hoping that with his older brother for a good example we could skip this childhood rite of passage. But I guess not!

I was busy cleaning up the kitchen and Ephraim proudly came into the room and told me "crayon... pishurs!". I instantly suspected there would be trouble and I said, "Uh-oh!What did you color on Ephraim?" It wasn't too hard to find:

He colored on the walls a little bit and a couple of the doors in the living room. What do you think of his art work?

Of course we had the discussion about how coloring on the walls is a no-no and we only color on paper. Then I had Ephraim try to clean the crayon off the walls. Of course it didn't come off easily for him, and his cleaning efforts didn't last very long... but I think I got the point across. Look at the face Ephraim gives me when he gets in trouble:

Could that bottom lip stick out any further?! It's as if he is saying "How could you be upset with this face?"

What a cute boy!
