Our little artist!






So Lily found a pen today and colored on every pillow and cushion of our couch! Although it was initially shocking, it wasn't upsetting--Actually, it was hilarious! Thankfully, with Resolve carpet cleaner and lots of scrubbing all the ink came out and the couch looks better than before!

Imagine this: At first glance, something looked different about the couch, but it was hard to identify exactly what that difference was. As you sit down, you notice a few pen lines on the white pillows--Lily is clearly the guilty party. You knew this day would come, so smile to yourself, but you do wonder if the ink will stain. Either way, it's not that big of a deal, the pillows can be replaced. And then you see a few lines on the tan couch cushions and brown pillows--now you get a little panicked! In a quick survey of the furniture, you see that not a single part has escaped her creativity! She even colored on the rocker and her matching baby chair! The couch is almost three years old, but you certainly weren't ready to replace it yet! You are speechless, but you have to laugh! "EVERY cushion and pillow, Lily? Really?!"

The best part about this whole discovery is that Lily then wandered into the living room and seemed thrilled to show me all that she had accomplished in only a few minutes. She babbled on, as if explaining her inspiration for designs. When Eric and I took apart the couch for cleaning, Lily lounged on the pile of pillows and admired her artwork!
