Writing on the wall
Brinley is constantly drawing and coloring. She's getting better about making sure her crayons and markers are put away.
Nolan however is also very stealth at sneaking her crayons and markers--which he then uses to scribble on the walls. He knows he's not supposed to do it, and if you ask him if we should write on walls he says no and if you ask him what we should write on he says paper.
So...how do I actually get him to stop scribbling on the walls. We give him creative time by putting him in his high chair and letting him color, paint, glue, etc. but the kid just can't seem to help himself. DH touches up our paint weekly at this point.

Re: Writing on the wall
Lala--how old was your DD when you told her about the money thing...I'm not sure DS is old enough to understand that. Or maybe I'm underestimating him.
I put all crayons in a ziplock bag and keep them high up. Yes, it's a pain to have to go get them with the older ones want them, but you do what you have to do.
Also, ziplocks are challenging for little hands.
