Toddler art: House Painting

How to keep a two year old occupied for at least an hour, then of course there's the clean up which adds at least another 45 minutes depending on how much water gets spilled and if you add more containers for pouring and spoons for mixing. soap is an added bonus. Next week we make a mini aquarium for our road trip in May

Toddler Tuesday

It's cute, creative and alliterative as all get out:

Toddler Tuesday

Just what the title suggests, plus it's got that handy alliteration thing going for it.

So my daughter is a walking snot factory complete with "I'm not feeling very well" melt downs and random whines of "mommy mommy mommy". The only time she's not crying and telling me that she's crying or that she's not a happy girl anymore is when I've filled her dimpled hands with crayons and paint brushes and slapped a nice piece of paper down in front of her.

So as I'm watching yet another rivulet of mucus exit her now tender little nose (mommy I don't want to blow my nose, I don't like tissues) while she swirls a paintbrush around the lime green tempera block, I realize that I should make sure to hang this latest creation on the refrigerator and then it occurs to me that I should also share it with however many people stop in and read what I've been up to.

Right now Miranda is using the jumbo pencils and asking me if the drawing she is making is brilliant, true story.

Here's another drawing she made earlier today.
