How not to get paint on your baby painter

 

I don't know how to keep paint off of him and I don't want to!!! 😍😍😍

 Are you kidding???  Why would you want to keep paint off of such cuteness???

They go together so well! Mom's and dad's, grandpa's and grandma', caretakers, let your cuties get good and dirty with Paint at least once, and take pictures and send them to me, I would love to see them.

 

This little Brody just loves painting!💙💚💜❤️ 

I have a chair set up at the table with a plastic tablecloth on it that I got a few of at

the dollar store and the chair has a booster seat on it so he can reach the table and so whenever he feels like painting he goes and pulls out his chair and cries and tries to get up on the chair. He is only 15 months old and is only saying some words yet but he sure knows how to get his point across when he wants something. 😄

 

 

His Masterpiece with his grandma's help. 

I kind of have to guide him to put his paint brushes in the water and then in the paint and on the watercolour paper but he knows how it's done. He is getting better and better with every painting!  So far he has made 7 paintings.

You can buy these paint supplies at Walmart. I think the watercolours cost around $8.00

and the watercolour paper pad around the same, give or take. Fairly inexpensive and it will give your "adorable gift of God" hours and hours of enjoyment! 

 

 

Those little hands (quite big in his case) can go fast!  😄

 

Examining the paint

 

I wonder why toddlers want to put EVERYTHING in their mouths?? I had to stop him so many times! 

I don't think these paints are toxic but still, I don't think it's good to put in your mouth...

 

I just love these colourful pictures with tiny pudgy hands, so adorable 😘😘😘

 

 

 

Making sure he is rubbing it in good here, good thing it is washable!!!

 

Having fun!

 

Huh, are you still taking pictures of me? 😉

 

 

He looooooves dipping his brush/brushes into the water!

 

We have to hold it tight though or it would be all over the place!

 

Amazing he didn't get any on his shirt or shorts! It does come off if it does though. I have to find him some kind of  vinyl bib.

 

 

I am making a collection of his framed paintings and will try to fill a wall with them.

Brody and I say Adios, until next time 💕💕💕

A mother’s new dress and my gorgeous model!!!

Hello everyone, it’s been a while since my last post, I have been busy being a mother and grandmother!!! My daughter had a healthy beautiful baby boy on March 14th 2015. He weighed 8lbs 6 oz. I  stayed with her from February 25 to April 7.
Brody Andrew was born 1 week later than his due date at the Canmore hospital in Alberta Canada and ended up being born via C-section. His mom had a bit of a hard time with being in labour and not dilating. She ended up trying to have an epidural for over an hour where they stuck a needle in her back at least 20 times while she begged them to stop, where she was told not to move, and this was the best way for her…???  Should of took a picture of the needle marks and bruising on her back. I am sure there was no need of trying THAT many times…  After and hour of figuring out it wasn’t working they put her to sleep and took the baby out. I think that borders on torture and they should have never tried that long. I am sure after a few tries they could have figured out that it wasn’t working for her. She was told that because of her short stature and the curve of her spine with her big belly she could not get her back rounded the way she was supposed to be….
But after all that everything was great, he is so adorable you just want to stare at him all day. His dad and I, not dry eyed, got to see him first. It was a special moment to see a new part of your bloodline brought to life and he looked so perfect. Such a blessing and miracle of life!!!

So after all that, I was supposed to go home earlier but we decided that it was best that I stay a while longer to help mama as she wasn’t allowed any heavy lifting or driving for 4 to 6 weeks and daddy was still in school as he is just finishing a course as an electrician which he passed with flying colors!!! Thankfully I was able to change my plane ticket back to NS for a small fee and the difference of the plane ticket when I bought it, to the new date that I would be leaving. It was really sad to leave this but yet it was nice having my own life back. This is the longest I have ever been away from home! I have always been a person who likes to be home but I think I am getting better at it… I missed my husband, my cats, my bed and my friends!!

So during my visit I was going to make myself a dress……but my daughter liked the colors too much and it got turned into her dress lol

Here are the pictures I took two weeks after the baby was born. She is an absolute gorgeous mother and model!!!

   


 

“How’d I get so lucky, lucky lucky me” I kept singing this song as I was editing my pics…now I don’t believe in luck because I know where all things come from and I know I am truly blessed with a nice home, husband that thinks I am great, two beautiful children and two beautiful grandchildren.
