Emma ‘Paints’

I pulled out some paints for Emma the other day, mostly just to see if she had reached the maturity needed to “paint” (aka ‘parental anxiety’).  In short the answer was NO.  It was a fun try though. (6 images total)

I poured some paint on the paper, pushed it around a bit with a brush, and then handed her the brush. She poked at the paint a bit and then... put it into her mouth.

What, it's not supposed to go into the mouth?

Well, I'm done then! (The lack of focus is me moving the camera as I try and prevent wet paint from going everywhere. I was mostly successful!)
