Day 66 (3/7/11) - Lil' Picasso

Ryan has been begging us to let him fingerpaint for nearly a week now and today, we finally ran out of excuses as to why we should put it off for another day.  So, we got out the art smocks, plain white paper, and a roll of paper towels and let them create paintings that will likely sell for millions one day! 

Gavin was surprisingly neat, though he did "sample" the fingerpaint and had some trouble distinguishing the white paper from the white kitchen table.  But, as promised on the package, the fingerpaints were non-toxic (guess he's not the first to taste it) and mess-free (the white table is now white again).

While it's not the best photo of Ryan, I thought his painting of a flower was impressive and worth documenting and sharing.  He used the flower arrangement that he'd given me several days earlier to guide his flower painting.  At 4, his artistic abilities already far surpass mine!
