My daughter use to color her legs on a regular basis with marker. I got sharpie off plasic with antibactierial handcleaner, so you might try that umm next time!

But little ones get into just as much trouble alone if not more when there's not a big one around. Well Dawn, thanks for keeping us all entertained. One of my favorite pictures of my 6 year old was his first black eye when he was 2. He was so proud and showing it off.

She had a black eye right off, but the next day woke up with it completely swollen shut.
