Art time

This morning the girls were watching a little TV before we all began to get ready for the day. I'm not sure what was on (I was only half awake) but it had something to do with painting, and from that point on Molly kept saying, "I wanna paint!" And for once, instead of telling her I didn't have time or maybe later, I got out the paper and finger paints and let her express her artistic self. She painted for a half hour or so and was quite pleased with herself. It seems so rare that I take the time to do these kinds of things with my children. It was nice to take this time this morning to watch Molly's inner artist emerge.
