Truth be told it's been a while since I've done much blogging at all.
It seems that while I've been very busy creating, I haven't been feeling that creative.
So this morning, while Paul was out and about, Bradley and I had some one-on-one time together.
It was his choice of activities, and he wanted to paint.
Admittedly (and ashamedly), my first thought was "oh no, this is going to be messy".
And it was.
But you know, I think it was just about the most fun I've had in a long time.
Seems like a bit of messy, chaotic, toddler art was just the thing I needed to re-inspire me and get me in the creative mood again.
Don't you love his colourful hippopotamuses (or should that be hippopotamusi?).
Gooey, sticky, icky, squishy hand prints!
Its interesting that creating but not feeling creative thing. Soemtimes we have to get down on their level so they can remind us what its all about. I hope you are having a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteWonderful!
ReplyDeleteMake sure as you do MoederKip work that you also make a few things here and there that you want to make/do. Sam told me that a while back and it's been great advice. It keeps me from getting burnout.
I must admit I often inwardly groan when the children want to paint, but I agree it's worth the effort.
ReplyDeleteGreat advice from Sarah! Looks like you guys had a ball!!!
ReplyDeletelol Nat, I think part of your problem is that you seem to be doing INDOOR painting. Didn't you read the "keeping children entertained without trashing the house" rules? Number 1. Do the activities outdoors :P
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone :-)
ReplyDeleteHmmm, outdoor painting. Interesting idea ... but how do you stop them from painting the dogs?
hehe, your dogs would lap it up! ;)
ReplyDeleteHmm, I know all about that. As somebody who has a business creating I understand how you feel. I think it is the difference between MAKING and CREATING, you can MAKE without being creative. I only feel creative when I'm designing something new, which I dont get enough time to do.
