My Little Picasso

We have quite the budding artist on our hands. I think David wants to grow up to be just like his dad. A few weeks ago David had his crayons taken away because he colored on the TV, and so in Taos he got to color on the paper on the table. He loved coloring with those crayons and trying out all of the colors in the box, especially the oranges. Obviously the flowers and the train were not drawn by my budding artist but he had a great time.

Today, our preschool art project was apple stamp pictures. David did a great job using the apples as painting utensils. We also used some leaves and a pinecone to get different prints on the paper. David had a great time, especially using the apples as ways to smear the pain around the paper.

Sometimes I am amazed at the way kids do things. I think sometimes as an adult we forget about the fun of the process and concentrate too much on the product. It doesn't matter that David didn't print the stamps the way I pictured in my mind, what matters is that he was able to work on his own. His picture is still beautiful and he had a great time making it.

Honestly that is one the best things about parenting: relizing the pure simplicity of life. kids ARE truly amazing and i think that is Heavenly Father's way of helping us to reconnect with Him as well. How much fun for you!
