I Wanna Paint, Mama!!!!!!!

Until yesterday this little boy of mine showed very little interest in painting.  He's enjoyed it for brief spells on occasion, but overall, he rarely wanted to get the paints out.  My how everything changes overnight with these little ones.

Yesterday was "Mama, Mama, I wanna paint!  I wanna paint, Mama!  I reeeeyeeee neeeed to paint, Mama!"....all day long.

...

It's a serious job, y'all.  But, somebody's gotta do it.

It's a Serious Job

...

We spent at least 3 hours painting.  If eating, sleeping, and bathing hadn't gotten in the way, I can say with reasonable certainty that this would have gone on much much longer.  I wonder what today has in store.  :)

  4. Wow! Three hours is awesome. Bet you'll want to use this trick again once the baby comes to keep Levi occupied. :)

  11. Aw, he looks so happy painting! My little guy is an avid painter. Every day he wants to "do art", which always involves painting of some sort.
