| It started out innocently enough |
There are many reasons I would not be good at teaching Elementary or preschool, and today confirmed just one of them. We had elaborate plans to go check out Fernbank's new nature exhibit, and then go to Piedmont park, but the dreariness of the day (and our sheer exhaustion) gave us reason enough to just stay home. I wanted to do something fun with Tyler anyway, so I pulled out the finger paint for the first time in a very long while and got pretty excited about doing it myself!
It started off innocently enough -- Tyler was timid about even getting his fingers in the paint, and to make him more comfortable, I told him to just go for it. He still was hesistant, so I got my own hands dirty, and thought it would be fun to paint a little heart on his bare chest to show him where his heart is and to make him even more comfortable with the paint and the process of getting dirty.
Well, the pictures explain how my little lesson in finger paint ended up. Needless to say, Tyler was quickly VERY comfortable, and it was a mess, but so much fun for both of us! I know the next person who does finger paint with him will have a rude awakening when Tyler starts smearing it on his body though -- not sure what I was thinking and I can't imagine if I was in charge of a whole class of young ones doing art. God Bless those who are!

| I had told him not to touch his hair and face -- ha ha ha |

| The fun abruptly stopped when he rubbed it in his eyes and he got a literal hose-down in the shower! |

| We decide to stick to his favorite thing after that -- playdough |

| He loves to make snakes |
Oh my goodness!!! There are no words for that mess. :-) Looks like he had fun though.
