Baby Art Day

This afternoon was Baby Art Day!
Mommy and Declan headed off to Spencer Smith park with Hayley and Owen, Daniella, Chelsey and Abi.

Hayley brought some white construction paper and Mommy brought along some primary colour finger paints for the kids.
When the three little ones: Chelsey, Owen and Declan were first settled together the Mommy's had them stand in a little circle.  Declan did properly join in by putting some weight on his legs.  I think he didn't want to be shown up by the younger Owen who is a master stander in front of Chelsey.
Then we sat the three babies down in a circle where there was a lot of discovery, hand holding, reaching, foot examining...Declan was really fond of Chelsey's feet.  Chelsey was very interested in ripping Declan's ear off.  Owen and Declan held hands.

After some relaxing at the park the art work began.  Abi started it off since she's 8 and didn't need any Mommy help to create her masterpiece.  The three wee ones were d-i-r-t-y!!  All over hands, feet, clothes, Mommy's clothes, picnic blanket, what a mess.  Many a wet wipe was required.  Baby art was a success and now Declan has his very first piece of artwork.

Upon returning home Daddy got to see the finished work and what a crazy mess his boy had become.  A proper bath was in order.

Declan was in great spirits all day.  I had a blast with him.  He's really a wonderful little playmate.
