It was rainy and windy here today so I decided to pull out the paints. Now Squirm is about one and a half and loves drawing so I thought today would be a good time to let her try painting for the first time.  All was going well, there were smiles and she understood the concept of paint going on the paper but then some paint got on her hands. She screamed and screamed and screamed. It took me a while to figure out what the problem was and then I simply cleaned her hands and she was happy again.

All Wrigglebot’s paintings are not finished until all the paint is mixed together to make that classic pooey brown colour over the entire page. He did two of his own and then insisted on helping Squirm to finish hers properly. The end result being that I have three pooey brown paintings hanging in my front hallway that I’m trying to pretend are masterpieces, but they’re not.
