lessons from a 10 mo old

Things that may happen when you paint with a 10 mo old:

she may put your iPhone 4 in the roller pan...which is better than the paint bucket.

she may decide her toy fire truck needs a new paint job and put it in the paint bucket.

she may want to listen to the same song over and over and over again...or at least she may have figured out how to put your iPod on repeat.

she may try to finger paint...not good when the color you are using is dark brown.

Ways to avoid the above from happening:

paint while she is napping.

create a playpen by shutting the laundry room door to the house and putting up a baby gate in the doorway to the garage.

have someone watch her while you paint.

Lesson learned.
