With the help of pinterest I found an idea I loved. I decided to decorate the walls in Tommy's room with his artwork. It was a fairly easy project, and Tommy had a blast painting. We bought a few blank canvases and paint at the crafts store. Then I put some paint on paper plates. I did my best attempt to contain Tommy in the kitchen so his painted hands wouldn't be all over the house. Once we were settled, Tommy went to work. It was so fun watching him explore the texture of the paint. He grabbed the paint with his hand and spread it all over the canvas. It was so enjoyable to see his smiling face and his continuous concentration as he painted his artwork. He was soon elbow deep in paint and using both of his hands to paint. When he completed his first painting he was determined to immediately carry it around the kitchen. He was so proud of his work! Needless to say, once we were done painting, major bath time was undeniable. Tommy was covered in paint and so was I. But messy is fun. I have a feeling this is just the beginning of Tommy's messy fun!
I didn't get too many pictures taken but I've posted the ones I have. It's amazing how much this little guy has turned our world upside down. We love him so much!
So excited to get to work!
Poor Tommy didn't want to stop painting.
This is how it turned out.
