painting for baby halle

In preparing for Halle's arrival, I've tried to involve Addi as much as possible.  In finishing up Halle's room, I decided to have Addi paint a few canvases just for her little sister.  I primed them one night after she went to bed and then we painted them the next day.  She could not have been more excited!!!

I didn't give her any direction...I just let her do exactly what she wanted.  They are precious!!














On the pink canvas I told her I would do her handprints if she wanted and she said YES!!!  We very carefully painted green paint on her hands and made the cutest little green hand prints.  I went to wash the sponge brush out and when I turned around she had painted brown over the handprints!  Oh well! 



It helps to be inspired if you sing while you paint! 



We found the perfect little spot for them on the wall above Halle's bookcase.  Addison could not be more proud!
