According To Owen



Painting is amaging!

Paint water tastes pretty good too. And it's fun to spit.

  6. Love the pictures and how you can see his extreme concentration. I love it when you share his language as well - amaging.

  7. Goodie. Look at the boy! In two years from a little pink gummie in a cot to a boy that holds a brush. And holding it like a pro. A masterpiece will be delivered for sure! I still have my oldest son's first school drawing! It's magic happening.

  10. Towanda- It kept his attention for quite some time.

    Jill- He's my little in-house comedian and savant. Well, you know- as his grandmother that IS what I'd think.

    Photocat- It's funny but I never really considered how well he holds the brush. I just gave it to him after showing him how to dip it in water and then color and then put it on the paper. After that, it was all his doing.

    Syd- Oh yes. One masterpiece after another.

    Jaye- And that is the essence of a child doing something new.

    Angella- I'm just happy I've found something he enjoys doing for more than three minutes at a time!

  11. DEEEElightful. I'm gonna try some paint water with a twist of lime. Gin? Or Vodka?

  12. Denise- I'm saying skip the paint and go directly either to the gin or the vodka and DON'T SPIT!
