At the weekend, Meggy, Cath and I decided to have a bit of art session. It started quite simply with Meggy and Me sat in the front room with crayons and bits of white cards. We could only have been in there for 30 minutes or so, but I must have said "Meg, draw with the crayons, don't eat them" 50 times. She did managed finally to get some crayon on the paper, but I'm pretty sure she ate more.

Next Cath decided it was time to go for the big guns, out came the messy play mat and the baby non-toxic paint. Cath decided we should try the Meg with potato prints. Out came some cut potatos and some bits of toilet roll to use as prints. Meg picks up a potato, studies it for a few moments then takes a bite. Getting the picture? Cath and Me started putting paint on spuds, pushing them on the paper, trying to show Meg what to do. Not interested in the slightest :(

So... I picked Meg up and put her feet in the paint then walked her over the paper. That worked :) She was loving it! In the hands went, squidging the paint and printing on the paper - success! That was of course until Meggy needed to know what the paint tasted like. Hands in mouth, green and red everywhere! A quick run to the bath later and we have 3 meggy created pictures, 1 clean baby and a pair of artistic meggy original daddy trousers, which I'm still wearing :)

Most fun I've had in ages!
