My little Picasso

Yesterday afternoon I was crazy enough to break out the water colors. After about 30 minutes of baby paint chaos and 5 beautiful paintings by my boy and one by me, we retired the paints for another day.

I want to be the mom that's cool with messes and disorder and creativity but I'm not. The monkey was mixing colors, going in the wrong order (paint then water then paper, not water then paint then paper) and painting himself.

It took many deep breathes, but I had fun, too.
