The Stamp Pad Incident

We've been painting and rearranging our office. This meant taking down my cabinet of sewing and crafting supplies. We took it off the wall and layed it on the floor in our bedroom. I thought it was full of ribbon, thread, some stamps and hole punches, so it didn't bother me that Greyson was playing in it - what could he hurt right?

Well, he broke the door and found a stamp pad that I had forgotten all about. A RED Stamp Pad. I turned around to find him with a red face and red hands. There was red ink all over the cabinet and our beige carpet. This was pigment ink so I quickly tossed him in the tub before it could dry. I should have taken a photo first, but I didn't want to risk him having a red face!

Anyway the ink came off of him with some scrubbing and it came out of the carpet with much more scrubbing and lots of carpet cleaner.

I didn't even try to get it off the cabinet since the door had already been broken of with Grey's hulk-like strength.

I'm almost thinking you should leave this to prove the mischeif he got into as a child. Pass it down, so his kids can see it. date it, and put a pic of him at this age near the cabinet. It could become a treasure in the future! The "red handed" cabinet.
