Yesterday Claire went with her father to the hardware store, and she saw paint there, and of course she came home obsessed with a desire to paint. It was too late in the day to start since we had company coming, and I promised her today we’d do it. She was thrilled this morning when she saw the setup. Here’s a little movie of her painting, and below that is a photo of the output. She said here she was painting a picture of Maria and Abby (from Sesame Street). I think she was also saying at the end of the movie, “My painting is lovely.” We painted wrapping paper.
