Now about writing on the walls. The way I took care of this problem was after Daniel- at the time of the crime: age 1.75- finished writing I gave him a sponge that had a scrubber back and a spray bottle of 409. I showed him how to clean and had him do it. I, of course, stood by so he wouldn't spray his sister and he cleaned the entire wall. It took a long time. Time that I did not have but that was the last time he ever did it. After he went to bed I had to go back and really clean it up good but still, problem all gone. Bob Nebert sdcsvax!bmcg!bobn
