The artiste at work
Posted By pamelamyers on March 7, 2012
Our little Picasso was hard at work again! It has always been sort of sad to me that she has very little interest in coloring for some reason. I personally love to color and couldn’t wait to whip out the crayons with Sam when she was old enough. She just isn’t that into it for some reason. I think partially, it has to do with the fact that you have to press down a bit to get the color to show up, and she just doesn’t have the hang of it yet. She got some washable magic markers for Christmas and she does love those, although, I will admit, I don’t give them to her very often. They do, as advertised, wash up really easily, but she makes such a mess, grabbing all the tips all the time that I can’t deal with it. So, not so much magic markering. She did discover finger paints recently. Yeah, I know, they are MORE of a mess, but I can’t inhibit my daughter completely! Here is our little artist working hard.
Look how daintily she has one finger in the paint. She is so funny. She likes the painting, but after every dip or two in the paint she asks us to clean her fingers. Alas, my tendencies toward excessive neatness have carried over onto my poor child! I hate having messy hands, to the extent that I am weird about eating certain food because it causes too much of a mess, and I think I have projected into onto her a little bit. Well, I am working on not letting her get that way, I want her to explore, have fun, make a mess, and be a kid! Sam, you keep on painting, and spilling, and making a mess — have fun, kiddo!
