Best-Mom-Ever Paints With 15 Month Old

When I told Brian that I was going to have a (very short) series of "Best-Mom-Ever" posts he gave me this look that said, "A little pretentious perhaps?" Of course it is pretentious! That's why it is so funny.

One moment happened last week. Colleen wanted to watercolor and I decided to get Kate in on the action (OK, I really just wanted to distract them for awhile). Anyway, I gave Kate a little cup of water (1/4 inch), a paintbrush and construction paper and let her at it.

I was surprised at how well she dipped the paintbrush and how well the water showed up on the paper. I started to think that I should have just given her some paints too until she put her paintbrush in her mouth.

I guess we will wait on paints. Isn't she so cute?

Oh my, she really is cute. I love her cheeks in the last picture. I am copying this idea.

You rock as a mom! Thought I'd let you know. It's funny how we need to remind ourselves of this.
