I am so happy to show you this masterpiece today! Kirby's first ever painting!
I've been meaning to set Kirby up with paints for a while now, but life has kept getting in the way. This morning the timing was finally right, so I stripped him down to his nappy and let him play. And he sure gave it a good go.
To start off with I only gave him a couple of colours, and just his hands to paint with. He totally rejected the yellow, but asked for the green. And as soon as he saw Aoife using a brush he wanted a tool of his own too, so gave him an old brush and a glue spreader.
He loved it!
(yes, those big brown eyes get me every time!)
Awww, what a sweet heart!

Vilken fin teckning, så kreativ. Han ser verkligen ut att njuta av stunden. Han har otroligt fina ögon och är så söt.

Ooooh Carin... how sweet... a new little artist begins his journey... it looks like he had a wonderful time... and that very first painting will be one to treasure...
Do hope little Aoife is going well after your rush to the doctors with her... that sounds a bit scary...
Hugs

This is great... I'm also planning to introduce my boys to the wonderful world of paint. Today, as a matter of fact! I'm inspired after a visit to a friend's house this past weekend. She has her children's artwork in frames all over her home. It is quite beautiful.

He is quite the Renaissance man! Painting, loves to dance and the eyes of a future soulful poet I'd say! So much fun to see him and his creation ... now you will have to introduce him to foot painting, my girl's favorite form of creative expression!
