life is a canvas...

My little girl is quite the artist! Not long after she turned three, she discovered painting. Now she asks to paint all the time. I have to say, I love it. I am trying really hard to encourage her creativity. It surprises me that she can paint for such extended periods of time...nothing else can hold her attention for that long! Once she gets started, we are talking 3 to 4 pictures, at least.

In this picture, notice the crazy morning hair...she woke up wanting to paint. I hope she always loves to paint.

This Wednesday, she and I are starting an art class together. Its at this cute artsy place downtown. We will be creating all kinds of things- weaving, stamping, painting, drawing- and I am very excited. I have officially declared Wednesday "Brooklyn's Day". No cleaning. No working. No watching T.V. or running errands. (see resolution #1) Just a day to spend with the little lady!

Four is a fun age. Well, its all fun. But it is truly amazing to sit back and watch your baby discover things that she loves, thus discovering parts of who she is or will be. It is all pretty special.

There is no art like the art of your very own child. The creations of the person I created...
