The Tornado

My little Tornado. There are going to be a lot of pictures in this one! Cap was a little younger when I did this same first painting activity with him. He was a little sick at the time and the experience was 95% miserable for him. My clean boy did not want the paint on him. This girl of mine however, I just knew would be different. Cap didn't hardly touch his 1st birthday treat, my Tuoly will clabber hers this Saturday!

And we start

bbc (baby butt crack)

Started with one color first, green

She wanted to show me

Then we added some yellow 

She was loving the paint in her fingers

She was off to find the yellow paint bottle 

Mean while, Cap was painting some letters

C, A, P 

While taking pictures of brother she found the red

Her first "intentional" paint on the canvas

then the foot got in it

At some point she got it on her lips...pretty cute!

she now realized she could see herself

crawled over 

checking it all out

looking at the mess

high fiving herself for the mess

decided to get more messy

we then went on to eating it

We decided we were about done at this point. All this took place in about 6-7 minutes!

It was incredibly chaotic, but fun! No tears either! The key to doing stuff like this with little ones, is to plan it ALL out. Have it ready before hand and think about clean up. We had a bucket of water ready to go when it was over with a wash rag.
