showing me his painted hand
"mommy, this is how you do it"It amazes me how Sean remembers something in the morning that I told him at some point the day before. This morning his first words were, "I'm going to make a card for Maw Maw". He's right. I decided to let him finger paint a card for her.
We went outside because I'd never done finger paint before and wasn't sure how this was going to turn out. He knew more than me. I was just going to dip his hand in the paint and he said, "no, Mommy, I'll do it" and he painted his hand with a brush just like Miss Christy does at school. It was so cute. After I picked up the paint, the phone rang and I got to talk to my best friend who I haven't talked to in awhile. Well, I took the phone outside and can tell that I've become much more lax with rules, because Sean went to the side of the house and turned on the hose (yes, he's figured out how to do this) and was soaking wet when I finished my conversation. He had so much fun, until the water got into his eyes. He was ready to go inside after that!
Since Kenny has so much work to do today, I thought it would brighten his day, if we dropped by and brought him one of Sean's finger paintings. Sean brought into his office and Kenny loved it.
I wanted to start up a family game night, where one night a week, the three of us play a game together. I bought Chutes and Ladders. Sean enjoyed spinning the wheel the most and then, would run around while Kenny and I moved the board pieces. Sean isn't into sitting still, right now! Sean won 2 games and I won 1. Better luck next time, Daddy.
