Painting for Dads

I was excited that I found a sentimental yet practical gift for Father's Day from the kids...Shirts that they make their hand/footprints on. I sure was not prepared for the mess or the ignorance Sarah would have with paint. Silly me, I didn't think she would touch everything, rub paint everywhere, and try to taste it too. Luckily, the shirt came with dummy instructions for me. ("Show child how to make a print by demonstrating your hand on the shirt. Tell them to spread their fingers wide.") Marco and Sarah sure enjoyed the feeling of paint on their extremities and the new experience. Marco was all coos and smiles when I rubbed paint on his feet and Sarah was excited to slather her hands in goo. I am sure I will be seeing paint in unexpected places for awhile.
