We had quite a few fiascoes because of Olivia back in September and October. When she pooped, she would take her diaper off and "paint" the walls, the carpet, and even some toys (which were simply tossed out). We resorted to taping her diaper, but then she figured out she could go up the leg of her diaper. With this new realization, she decided to paint the t.v.
Her favorite time to "paint" was always at the worst time possible (not that there is ever a good time for this to happen). One time she did it just as Paul had to leave for a meeting, which left me to clean it up by myself. Another time she did it just before my parents were to arrive for a visit. And she did it once just before we were to leave town, which caused us to get there later than we would have liked.
I finally decided I needed to document Olivia's murals. This definitely was not her most magnificent masterpiece, but it's a masterpiece all the same.
Fortunately this was the last of the "painting" fiascoes and the phase has since passed.
