Easel!

At long last we assembled and erected the easel that Ivy's Mommom got her for Christmas. It is a hit! This is her second afternoon painting. Painting also entails pouring water, mopping it up with some paper towels and singing about pouring water and mopping it up with paper towels. It is an exercise in letting go for me, water spills, painty fingers, a 5 second picture followed by another 5 second painting and another. She is doing well though, and hopefully we will work up to some more stamina so the set-up time/play time ratio evens itself out. And when I was little I would paint and paint until each and every picture was brown, so at least we aren't having that problem!

Pictures to follow.
