Painting and Potty Time

Santa Claus brought Ryder an awesome Melissa and Doug art easel for Christmas, which Ryder was super excited about. We have been letting him color on the art paper and use the chalk board, but we haven't gotten brave enough to bust out with the paints. Since Tallahassee has been having a ton of rainy weather we decided to just let him go crazy. Boy did he ever! He did pretty well at keeping the paint on the paper. Towards the end, he decided to paint himself though. Luckily, it washed right off.


We decided since he was enjoying himself so much that we would just add a little potty traning into it. Ryder LOVES to sit on the potty, but only "potties" about one third of the time. He thought that it was fabulous to get to sit and paint. Kind of like a comfy artist stool or something. Needless to say, nothing actually came out. Oh well...better luck next time.
