The Importance of Washable Crayons

My little Brook, who you might remember gets into everything, decided to decorate my BRAND NEW COUCH! She is very artistic you see, and while I went off to wet a cloth to change her diaper, inspiration hit her. She started with great deliberation to color the armrest of my NEW couch. Did I mention this is my NEW couch? Well the doll looked up at me with such a happy pleased look when I came back into the room, I couldn't be upset.

So this brings me to the discovery of exactly how important washable crayons are. You see, I have had my doubts. I was leaning towards just buying the super cheap crayons and not worrying about it, I have Magic Erasers for the walls so why do I need them? I now know that they are very worth the extra few pennies (and nickels, dimes and quarters).

When I took a wet rag and scrubbed my couch, the crayon came right off! Woohoo! So my NEW couch is still looking good (for now anyway, 6 children doesn't make for beautiful furniture). And I very firmly explained to my little artist that we don't color on the couch
