There was this one day...

...when clearly I didn't care about the mess.

It was 4:30 in the afternoon - which is normally witching hour around these parts. We I'm prepping dinner and my sweet, little IV is running around - in what lately, is a t-shirt and diaper, only because he wouldn't lay long enough for me to put his pants back on. And there is the constant sound of "mama mama mama mama" - and me, responding "yeah, buddy?"

Well, I happened to have prepared an easy low-prep dinner {we don't use the word easy in our house...my Husband likes to refer to IV as "easy" to people...not the case} and had the time to pull out a quick toddler project.

Finger Painting! Yaaaaay, Mama! {insert sarcasm here}


And yes, there was a nice card stock, paintable paper on the floor as well - but clearly that wasn't nearly as fun to paint compared to the tile floor. 


Oh, and the best part of finger painting? Getting to run around all nakey after! 

And one more thing - if you know me and follow my roll on IG, you've seen this insanely adorable photo - but for those that haven't...here is IV dancing it out to No Doubt on Ellen after finishing his masterpiece.

  1. So cute! A fun way to let IV get messy with easy clean up is to let him finger paint in the bathtub before you put water in. That way he can paint the walls, tub and himself and it all gets cleaned up once you turn the water on.

    Not so helpful while making dinner, but useful if he wants to finger paint again.

    Nakey pictures are so much fun. We have one of Emma sweeping naked.
