The Writing on the Wall...

(Texto en Espanol al final) A few weeks ago, we were painting the living room walls and Alison was playing really well by herself for a long time. When she eventually got bored, she began leaving us trails of post-it notes where she had tried her best to write down what she feeling...(boredom, anger, etc.) Well, that kind of continued a little bit over the next couple of weeks here and there. One day, while Mommy was ironing and Alison was playing, the playing came to a stop and she wanted to do something. I told her that I only had one more shirt and would stop so we could go out to play. While I completed the last shirt, I heard a voice from around the corner telling me to read the notes in the hall. To my surprise, Alison left me a note...ON the wall, in black marker!! Wait, there's more...and one ON her beautiful door, in black marker!! I panicked and immediately started scrubbing off the one on the door and managed to get most of it off. However, the entrance to the master bedroom now looks like this...

As Alison saw and heard my hysteria, she began screaming that it was the one that would just wipe off.  I couldn't figure out what she was talking about at first, but then she brought me the dry erase marker, thinking that we could just wipe it off of the wall...

Oh well, our first (and I'm pretty sure last) writing on the wall was not until age 5-1/2, not too bad.  I guess we will be painting our room next... 

Spanish translation: Have unas pocas semanas, estabamos pintando la casa y Alison estaba aburrida y nos empezo a dejar notitas en pedazos de papel, tratando de la mejor manera de escribir por ejemplo estoy aburrida, estoy enojada, etc. Ella continuo haciendo esto por varios dias hasta que un dia, Sally estaba planchando la ropa y Alison estaba jugando, ella paro de jugar y queria hacer algo, Sally le dijo que tenia que planchar una camisa mas y entonces jugaria con ella.  Mientras terminaba de planchar la ultima pieza, escucho una voz que le decia "ven a leer lo que escribi en la pared" . Para el asombro de Sally, Alison habia escrito con un marcador permanente en las paredes de la casa, en las puertas, etc. En medio del panico, Sally limpio casi todo, pero a la entrada de nuestro dormitorio, todavia queda la escritura en la foto de arriba.
