“We going to putt paint today?”

My child adores crafts. One morning while we were snuggling in my bed, the first phrase out of her mouth was, “Let’s paint today.” I could have composed a list as long as my arm of tasks I’d choose to do before painting with a three year old, but sometimes a mom’s just got to bite the bullet and get out the brushes. Liv and I have been working on these snowflake ornaments for days now. “Putt” paint was the final step. Sometimes I wonder if I have the next Jackson Pollock on my hands.
