The Sixth Sense of a Toddler

How is it that a two-year-old can spy a jar full of pens, and choose the one pen that has that special permanent ink? Also, does anyone have a remedy for removing Sharpie from furniture?


Way to go, Claire! She got both cushions. Don't do a half-assed job, I always say.

Oh, that's not fun. She even got 'em so that you can't just turn them over. She did wait until after last weekend's shindig, that was considerate. Have you guys started a special account designated 'Replacement/Repair - Toddler Damage'? I'd say throw in 5 bucks a month, but I think Claire's a bit more expensive than that.

For the glass - what about nail polish remover or goo gone? Might work for the wood too. Test on the bottom first to make sure it won't remove the stain. Or, you could just pain the whole table dark brown!!

I am not sure about the fabric. Surely google will offer some results?

Nail polish remover will probably remove the finish from the wood. We have spots of it on our table where the finish and some of the stain is gone so be careful if you try that. She really gets into things doesn't she.

I've heard that the magic eraser works on pretty much anything.

Oh! I forgot. Aqua Net hairspray in the aerosol can got Sharpie off my cabinets! Worth a try! (don't try on the couch though. It was either that or the magic eraser that took the color out of the couch cushion over here!)

The Magic Eraser will take off the Sharpie, but will also take off the finish - I know from experience. On the couch cushions, I'd try using some liquid hand sanitizer. It got sharpie out of some clothing when I used.
