16 month old Beck was asleep in his car seat and 4 year old EJ was in her seat coloring when my daughter, Joanna, stopped at a friends house to deliver some Girl Scout cookies for her other daughter, Hope. She stood outside the car talking to her friend for a couple of minutes. This is what she saw when she opened the car door.
Beck seemed very pleased with his artwork. EJ told her mom , "I'm really sorry, mom. I just thought he would want to hold a marker, so I gave it to him. I didn't know he could take the lid off."
Apparently EJ was wrong about that.
Oh my! I wonder if that will ever come off? I sure hope so. Your poor daughter.
ReplyDeleteOh NO! Was it a washable marker?
ReplyDeleteA true Van Gogh in me makin'!
ReplyDeleteBooger, rubbin' alcohol will lift markers but I don't know how it works of leather.
Hope ya'll find somethin' that'll fix it.
God bless and have yourself a fantabulous weekend!!!
Oh no - what did you daughter say? sandie
ReplyDeleteToo bad about the seats - but look at the cool story and photos you'll be talking about for years to come!
ReplyDeletewell of course he was proud. His work could hang in the MOMA.
ReplyDeleteBut as for Mama...
I hope it can be simply a great story with photos to commemorate, and not the actual artwork SEATS.
Oh my gosh! What did your daughter do? I wonder if a leather cleaner would take it off. The dealer may have some suggestions on how to clean the marker off.
ReplyDeleteoh the joys of little ones...they melt your heart...they also make messes...break things...and throw fits...hope they get the ink off the seats....
ReplyDeleteOh my, you must let us know if it was able to come off.
ReplyDeleteWow! Try alcohol to get it off.
ReplyDeleteI did a post about how we got off ball point ink stains from our leather chairs using Purell.

I don't know if it'd work on marker stains, but it might be worth a try.
Oh dear! I remember when our baby son wrote all over the wall. But... ouch! This looks pretty bad. Makes a good story though. :-)
This is the reason I do not have good upholstery anywhere. Kids do the darndest things, even high school kids whom I would ferry around in my car. When I bought the last car I was very specific about seats that would withstand anything. My Subaru has removable covers that can be dry cleaned. Might be something your daughter would want to look into.
ReplyDeleteWowza! That would not be fun, trying to clean all of that marker off of everything! I sure hope it comes off. (:>)
ReplyDeleteGo to your local furniture store and buy some ink stain liquid remover from them. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteUh-oh!
ReplyDeleteAt least you know he's got great motor skills!
Uh-oh. Someone's gonna be grounded until he graduated from high school.
ReplyDeletexo jj
Gah! Be sure to post photos of the cleaned seats...and how she managed it. IF she manages. Crazy, crazy kids. You can't help but chuckle over such antics. At least when you're the grandma. :o)
ReplyDeleteHe did a really good job with that!
ReplyDeleteOh man... I hope it wasn't a Sharpi... that would be hard to get of...if you even could.
ReplyDeleteAll I can say is YIKES!!!
Ouch. I'd be heading for the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser -- fast!
ReplyDeleteLOL...you got a budding artist there Jeanie!
ReplyDeleteYikes, I remember those days, but today's markers are washable, right?
