Painting!

I know I've told you we did some painting before, but recently we tried it again and it was a smashing success! 

I was doing some watercolor for some etsy tags (that I put on the orders I send) and Nikolai reeeeallly wanted to help, so we got out the fingerpaints and a brush and let him go at it. 

He had never used a bristle brush before (just a sponge brush) but his control was really good!

Look at that face up there.  That is an artist in embryo. 

I always have to remind myself that my child is capable of far more focus and carefulness than I give him credit. He had a really fun time and was trying very hard not to make a mess.  Thanks for being our little artist, buddy!
