I am thankful each and every day that toddlers are washable. Not that I wash my toddler every day, but…

When my in-laws were in this summer… my oldest son (just about to turn 2 at the time) decided to draw a beard like daddy all over his face with a Sharpie… yes, a nice red and green one!

I’m just waiting for the inevitable day that this happens to me. Good to know that rubbing alcohol and magic eraser works!

oh, I’ve had that happen. Thankfully, it’s usually crayons at this point, which are easily removed with water and baking soda. EEK.

I personally always love the colored nostrils and ear canals….

Hi there! I stumbled onto your blog from MyBlogLog and in reading this post I was reminded of a post of my own from a couple years ago. Go read and see if you like it

A little late to the party. I was going to suggest the Mr. Clean sponge too. Glad it worked.

Can you imagine if they tried to take those of the market? I’d be like Elaine on Seinfeld.

I had a similar experience with my toddler, a sharpie, and white walls. The magic eraser did just what it said it would do. What a life saver. Glad you got it cleaned up.

Here is my story…

You guys ROCK!

Rubbing alcohol removed a lot of it, and Mr. Clean magic eraser got almost all of the rest of it.

Wow — thanks everyone!

(Oh, and none of this I used on Chip, just on the Magnadoodle.)

I was going to suggest a degreaser product, but I think the rubbing alcohol is the better bet.

But man, that’s funny. FUNNY! Loving the nose shot. FUNNY!
