But that's why kids have two parents. Because Noah was up for it. And had the energy to help Forrest after Elliot went to bed one night this week. And Papa is so much more fun with painting than Mama, because he lets Forrest use the real paints and a canvas! None of this water painting nonsense from books.
It was an exploration in color. Learning what colors to use to make others. That painting usually doesn't mean doing somersaults at the same time. And that you should wear one of dad's old shirts to paint in. You know basic stuff.
I loved watching how intent they both were on what they were doing. And seeing what Forrest would come up with.
And aren't those sweet in between baby and kid fingers and toes the best? There are moments I look at him and he seems like such a big kid, and other moments where he is still a baby. What a funny stage.
And this is the end result. Hung up high so it doesn't get knocked over.

Wow, how adorable your children are! Hello I am an ordinary Japanese father. I coincidently find your blog when I have clicked the next blog bar on the top of my blogger's blog. Nice to meet you^^. I also have two lovely daughters. Anyway, would you mind to tell me what you think of if you were to see my blog, mama bicycle. I believe the mama bicyle would be very helpful to family like you. It might be helpful to you, especially for your "dad" who are always busy at his buisness. I just wish you would tell me your opinion via message on blogger.
ReplyDeleteVery cute! I know what you mean about the big boy/baby stage. It is so moment by moment.
