Anthony unleashed a new tactic recently for putting holes in our walls. Because my wife has covered the wall in our dining room that he most frequently targets with his head, he sometimes goes out of his way to find another wall to damage. However, he created a new depression with his elbow in the dining room below head-level when he was upset earlier this week.

I realized that he often does not create a full-fledged hole on his first try, but rather finishes the job shortly thereafter on a subsequent attempt. So, I have decided to be proactive and apply drywall compound as soon as reasonably feasible to any new indentations I see. I know it won't look very good, but neither do holes.
