Tide marks of handprints? Another new first!

Not so long back my children were earth bound with feet of clay, never to venture from my side they clung like limpets. Less than 18[?] months ago, they wouldn’t even venture upstairs during daylight hours. The whole second story was a place of trepidation.

And I’m passing the cleaning duties to the twit that let them watch Spiderman.

    What an awesome photo!

    Tell the twit that Mr. Clean Magic Erasers are a helpful last resort if good ol’ soap and water doesn’t do the trick…

    I love it! I’m betting you cherish those little handprints climbing up the wall and won’t be in any big hurry to scrub them away!

    I can’t pass on commenting on the photo either – wow!

    Per usual, you caption takes it to another level. lol!

    Also can’t help but mention (because it’s what I do) the physical strength and perfect imitation of ol’ spidey’s postures. Very impressive.

    Yes, very impressive. I second the recommendation for Mr. Clean Magic Erasers to the twit.

    My kids do the exact same thing. It was funny at first. Not so much anymore, now that we have grubby hand prints everywhere. ;-)

    That’s some highly impressive motor planning and dexterity! And the spidey skills…outstanding! Your boys have great senses of humor, too! :-)

    Laughing. Give the twit a bucket of soapy water! And you might not want to mention to the boys that door frames on opposite sides of a hall are perfect for spanning the ceiling with hands over one, and the feet over the other. . . .I used to win hide-and-go-seek every time as a girl. No one looks UP.
