Dominic and Gideon wake up before Eddie and I do. We’ve been strongly encouraging them to stay in their rooms and play quietly.
This morning, Eddie left very early to open the gym. Usually, the kids are up when he leaves at 6:30. Not this morning. I was pleased, thinking they were playing quietly or still sleeping.
I should have been worried.
About an hour later, I woke up again — this time to Dominic yelling, “Mama! I made Gideon look like Aang!”
Aang is the main character in “Avatar: The Last Airbender.”
And here is Gideon as Aang.
Yes, that is Sharpie permanent marker all over him (it was in Gideon’s room to mark his height chart). Here is the back view for your enjoyment:
(I promise we feed him. He’s going through a massive growth spurt.)
So cute. So awful.
The "artiste," "Aang" and Mona (who doesn't care what kind of crap anyone has on his face)
Dominic realized he had made a mistake when he saw the look on my face. He started saying he was sorry, but what could I do? I laughed. I laughed to keep from crying.
I guess I should be happy he has artistic talent.
Observe and report 
Dominic did a pretty good job, all things considered! 🙂

Yes, indeed. So talented. SIGH.

WOW! Love this because they are so cute and so far this has yet to happen to me. I do have sharpie permanent marker on several of my walls and the kids have had it on them – just not this elaborately. 🙂
I do think he is artistic and I like how he completed the entire picture….much more effective “in the round”.

He’s nothing if not thorough. There are some marks on the wall, too, but that was Gideon’s contribution.

Colin would be so jealous if he saw this… He’s done similar with a sharpie before, just sneaky about it. I’ve seen his “tattoos” on his legs at bath time.

Not bad at all. Gideon looks like an art installation in the second photo.
