The Next Picasso

Our first attempt at finger paints was a major FAILURE. Nixon hands down does not like to be dirty! (or as he would say it..."a mess"!) I decided to go round two, but this time with Nixon's friend, Gemma. Gemma definitely wasn't afraid of getting her hands dirty! She was so funny! She kept putting paint on her eyes and cheeks (and everywhere else) and she would say "she is BEAUTIFUL!" Nixon on the other hand still was not excited about the idea of getting messy, so I decided to see if a paint brush would do the trick....and it did!!

Last night Conner got the paints out for Nixon again and by the end he actually had his HAND in the paint!!! He even wanted to paint his cheek and nose, as well mommy & daddy's  noses too!

I now know where Nixon gets his "anti-messy" attitude! Conner was NOT liking having paint on his face! He hated it and had to wipe it off rather quickly because he said ," I hate that feeling!" haha!
