My little Picasso


Today after nap time we broke out the paints. Jacob is daily growing more interested in art and more fluid in his expression (sometime I need to post a picture of the precious masterpiece he drew on his bouncy ball). Almost every day he asks me "Mama, draw something?" or says "Draw something da Chelsey" (draw a picture to send to Chelsey). I had planned on getting some art done this afternoon during his nap because I have not had the time to do so for awhile. I didn't get the chance, however, when he woke up he was immediately interested in opening my art box and I followed his lead.


I LOVE his painting! This picture doesn't do it justice because of our horrible camera.


 Our collaborative piece: I drew Jacob while he periodically reached over to embellish his own portrait.

My favorite part about this activity was that I got to make some art WITH Jake. His spontaneity and expressiveness were infectious. It made my day.
