Okay, so maybe not 156 but he definitely had enough practice prior to Easter to understand the concept of an Easter Egg Hunt.  This time, however, he was rather excited to find that there was candy inside the eggs. 5 Hershey Kisses prior to breakfast later and Isaiah was running wild through the house.  It was great!

Weeeee!!!! Finger Paints

I must give kudos to Abe for being such a wonderful father but mostly for his daredevil attitude with bringing out finger paints on a cold rainy New England spring day :) !  I must admit that I was personally waiting for a beautiful, bright, warm, spring day to take Isaiah outside and take out the paints but that hasn’t happened much this spring.  Both, Abe and Isaiah had a blast first with brushes followed by fingers.  Isaiah had enough when he raised his two hands up and said “dirty”.

Introduction to Char (Charcoal)

We have a huge chest full of art supplies-watercolors, pastels, modeling clay, paper, beads, yarn, printmaking materials, fabric markers, etc…  Isaiah loves to open up the chest and investigate his latest find.  This particular week he happened to stumble upon a container of artist’s charcoal.  So far, out of all the various artistic mediums he has tried, it seems like “char” is his favorite.  Lately, he has been practicing making spirals and circles with whatever he can draw with.  No urging from his parents just something he chose to do.  It has been a lot of fun to watch his progress even the simple things of holding a writing a utencil was something so foreign but now common for him.

Experimenting with Make-Up

Once in a blue moon, I decide that maybe I should be more presentable.  I go out and buy some funky make-up that I really have no idea how to select nor how to use.  Luckily, this only happens once every few years and when I do buy make-up, it is a small purchase.  Lately, Isaiah has taken to using my make-up for endless minutes of creativity.  Considering it is getting the most use than ever, I’m all for it.  We also use make-up time as a special treat when Isaiah uses the bathroom.  Who would have ever thought!
