Painting

We bought this easel at a thrift store for about a dollar a year ago, but have had it in our basement until Kendyll was old enough to use it appropriately. By appropriately I mean not using it as a fort, ladder, or slide! We ventured to Michaels today and bought some washable paint for $0.99 each. I had recently bought some paintbrushes in anticipation of breaking out the easel, finally. So today was the day. I can't tell you how excited she was to paint. I let her do it in the kitchen because we have old linoleum that we will eventually tear up when we redo the kitchen, plus paint can easily be wiped up from it. At first I was going to have her paint in the sunroom, but that room is carpeted.

Here are her first few strokes...
Shhh... artist at work. Look at that concentration! The finished product!
