Hand Painting

Tyler said that he wanted to "hand paint" today. We bought some finger paints a few weeks ago, but we were waiting for a not-so-hot day to go outside and try them out.
At first, I really had to coax Tyler to put his whole hand in the paint. Finally he put more fingers in and then eventually his whole hand. He kept laughing and saying "poo poo".
It wasn't long, however, that he had fun by moving his hand around the plate. He liked to mix the paint and asked for more colours to be added.



Unfortunately, the wind picked up a little more making it difficult to paint on the blowing paper, so we decided to put away our stuff. This is what the finished product looked like. We will continue again some day soon when the wind isn't as strong and the sun isn't too hot.

Steve Update: Steve entered the first stage of his journey for his deployment to Iraq. He flew to Mississippi this afternoon where he will be doing paper work to prepare him for the deployment. He'll be there for a week, before departing to New Jersey where he'll continue his training.
