I got a call from my daughter yesterday. She was calling to inform me what "Your Grandson" did. Uh, oh. Already I know someone's in trouble. She went on to tell me that she put the Little Guy down for a nap and instead of going to sleep, he managed to reach through the crib to the wall and peel off the wallpaper border that I put up in his nursery. Since his crib is pulled away from the wall, she doesn't know how he even managed to reach it, but says he obviously spent a lot of time at it! :) My reply, "Oh, well. When I come over tomorrow, I'll bring some glue and put it back up. Did we have any leftover wallpaper?"
This response I immediately recognized as a definite mellowing from how I'd have responded if it had been Elsie who did it as a toddler 28 years ago. Then I would have been frustrated, mad, etc. All my hard work in vain. I made a comment to that effect to Elsie, and she said, "I know! I'd have been in big trouble." :)
What can I say? It's not the end of the world. I'm pretty sure it's fixable. The Little Guy is so cute, this Grandma just can't get mad.~Jane
P.S. He managed to get a lot more down off the wall than I expected, but it was pretty easy to glue back up and luckily was in fairly large pieces. I was expecting parts of it to be shredded. I left the bottle of glue, so Elsie can glue down any suspicious spots that might pop up again. :)
