I have to make sure I don't read these blogs when my kids are around. I started laughing and my 4 year old son wanted to know what I was laughing at. Of course I quickly scrolled down so he wouldn't get any ideas :-)
My husband thought it would be funny to send him to preschool like that, but I was pretty sure that the other parents would hate us for giving their kids the idea!
That's too funny, from this side of things of course! Maybe laughing now will help me to laugh when it's my little ones that express their creativity...
"Look, I did this WITHOUT ANY HELP!" made me crack up! It's not just the actions I find funny but the way he presented it to you. Gotta hug him...and save those pictures for many years down the road, his wife would appreciate them.
Oh Tanya, I know how you feel! In the last two weeks, Elnora has:
1.) Crawled through the kitchen window by standing on the back of the couch on the porch and snagged the bottle of dish soap. She then used it to "paint" her Aqua Doodle, her drawing board and the sunroom floor.
2.) Locked herself and the poor dog in the bathroom while I put Emmitt to bed. I found her squirting shampoo all over the dog shouting "dog bath!"
3.) Managed to stretch the yellow buttercream frosting from a 1" cookie into finger paint that covered an entire window.
4.) Replicated your son's body art with a ball point pen.
OH MY.

Well... at least he didn't seem to get any on his clothes!

Rebekah,
You're right!
When he came in to show me he said, "Look, I did this WITHOUT ANY HELP!"
Hard to be mad when they're so proud (any funny looking!).

Wow! I hope it wasn't permanent marker! That takes forever to get off and lots of painful scrubbing.

onetinkerbell,
No, luckily it wasn't permanent marker! It was a dry erase marker, which takes a while to get off, too...

Oh, Tanya, he's sooo cute... this really made me smile! It inspired me to post pictures of my daughters when they were too quiet last Sunday!
