Monet in the making


Lately when Ryan goes to the daycare at the gym (to see the "buddies," he calls them) he has been painting with watercolors. Yesterday he really wanted to paint but didn't get to. So today while I was out and about, I was really brave (and nice) and purchased a new set of Crayola's finest for my boy. He was so excited. So I put on a superbig t-shirt on him and put him in the high chair so he wouldn't ruin our dining set. I am pleased to say that it wasn't a total disaster like I was expecting. He didn't even get any paint on his shirt. The colors did get a little mixed up and he wanted to drink the water and lick the brush, but I can deal with that. Still working on staying in the lines and keeping the colors separated, so instead of being a Leonardo, he's more of a Monet right now...
