Several times over the last few months, Miss Lexi has taken it upon herself to decorate our walls. A friend’s child who is slightly older than Lexi is doing the same thing. She called him a Picasso. To me, that implies not only great creativity but a priceless master piece that should never be removed. It also means that the child should be encouraged rather than punished. I’ve decided to call Lexi's wall artwork vandalism. Smiley faces just don’t fit our décor even in her room.
Since, reasoning and timeouts are not working, I’ve moved on to manual labor. She had to scrub the walls today. Perhaps, that will inspire her to stick to paper for a while.
