Behold the Art of Ben!

In order to keep Ben out of my hair this afternoon, I suggested to him that we bring his easel into the kitchen so that he could paint some pictures, like at Moms & Twos. He thought that was a great idea! Here is Ben's art, in all its glory:


There are EIGHT pages of essentially the same thing - lines, in every color on the watercolor palette. I actually think they're quite modern and minimalist, maybe like his interpretation of rainbows. He had a great time - he'd paint his lines, and then ask for a new sheet of paper. And he'd paint his lines again, and ask for more paper. I had to re-sneak into Ella's closet to the big roll of paper twice to replenish his stock.

Ella is totally into finger foods and self-feeding. She loves to smush her food around and then plaster it all over her face. Here are more pictures of her self-feeding efforts:



And lastly, here are my two Baby-Einstein-lovin' kids:


Do ya think they're related?
