Eden's favourite thing in the world is to be set free outside. He chatters and makes funny noises and giggles whilst walking around poking, and licking and falling over. In fact, i think he begrudges how much time we spend inside. (despite going outside once or twice a day for varying amounts of time).
This morning in an attempt to making life inside less boring, i introduced eden to finger painting. It didn't quite go as a i expected. I thought he'd immediately start trying to eat the paint, and that it would occupy him for awhile...
it didn't. it lasted 3 minutes. I took a photo of the finished piece but it's not letting me post it. i think the bib was the problem, he was NOT impressed when i put him in it....it'll be easier when the house is warmer and he can just be naked.
I've currently got him in his cot, hoping he'll go to sleep...as we have a playdate this afternoon and he NEEDS naps... but he's chattering away so I may be fighting a losing battle. I wish napping wasn't so important, because I'd like to be more relaxed about it...but days when he doesn't get enough sleep, he's a nightmare! and i don't think it's fair to him, either.
so i'll leave you with a funny photo of him and a molehill. this happens a lot.

glad you are doing finger painting- you used to love it- i would get big pieces of paper and put them on the kitchen floor and you would be amused- but i don't think it is necessarily a long entertainment thing-
naps are hard things- each child is different in how they handle naps-
well i hope today goes well-
thanks for the lovely pictures- it is so fun to see his different looks
