I found Talia coloring on the dining room chair with crayons yesterday. She had no idea she was doing anything wrong, probably because I let her color on her own wooden table, chairs and stool. She was shocked and I think even embarassed when I freaked out. She said "I will never do it again! I wanted to make it pretty!" I tried my best to get the crayon out with a Tide-to-go pen. Of course, watching me use a PEN-LIKE DEVICE to clean it probably didn't send the CLEAREST message about whether or not we color on chairs. Moving the chair to the far end of the table and suggesting we "not tell Daddy" might have been a bigger clue.
Truthfully we have no furniture at this point that is special to us. We have couches that we thought would be nice but turned out to SUCK even though, at the time, they seemed like a lot of money. My plan is to take most of our furniture with us to Wisconsin and slowly replace it as we start to save some money. There are definitely a lot of crappy Ikea pieces that we're leaving here. I wouldn't wish them on anyone but if you are in need of really bad furniture, let me know...
Now I'm wondering how long we should wait before buying nice furniture. Perhaps longer than I thought.
