Green Thumb!

Jonathan loves to paint and color! The other morning he was painting while I was doing the dishes, so I had my back to him. When I didn't hear him for a minute or so, I knew before turning around, that something was happening...and I was right! He was very seriously painting his thumb green! This is very funny because, moments earlier, he was fussing for me to come wipe his hands from a couple of specks of paint. I told him it was okay for him to get a little dirty and I would clean him all up when he was done...so I guess he understood me and decided to take advantage! :)

While we are talking about art, I wanted to share this with you...Jonathan painted this about a month or so ago and I will treasure it forever...He sat down to paint, grabbed a piece of paper, paint brush with some purple/green paint and in 3 strokes created this masterpiece! When he finished, he put the paint brush down and looked at me, showed me the painting and said "HAPPY!" - so I will forever feel happy when I look at this. I hope you do too!

Since we are on the subject of Green Thumbs too...just a cute photo I took this morning of Michael and Jonathan working in the yard! :) (Michael's smile says it all...)
