They had opened three cans of paint and covered a 4’x6’ area on the wall by her bed. There was paint on the bedding, on the carpet, on the curtains of her closet. It has taken me about an hour to get it cleaned up. It was still quite wet when I discovered it and so most of it came off. A little magic eraser took care of what was left on the wall after a wet towel. There was still some left on the wallpaper border, but I have plenty of the border to switch out the damaged portion. It may not come out of the bedding completely, but it will be okay. I’ve wanted to get E a runner for by the door/bed - now I have an even better reason. . . paint residue.
I had so many plans for that hour. I feel like I need a day off from my day off. Q has learned a pretty serious lesson. On the other hand, so have I.

Oh Ab! What a nightmare! It sounds like it resolved itself reasonably well, although you can't get your lost hour back! Silence among the 5 and under set really is a danger sign, but sometimes (at least) I ignore the warning bells of silence in favor of continuing what I was trying to do, almost always to my detriment. Oh, and on your other post, you ARE a breath of fresh air! Always. Love you!
