Simple Things Sunday #017 | Watercolor

This week, 
my little man painted his very first watercolor. 

There is something so warming to the heart, 
when you watch your little one do something for the first time.

Jackson absolutely loved his watercolor paints.

He was beyond intrigued with them,
and was so intense when it came to his painting.

I was also very impressed that he held off for about 10 minutes before 
he started painting his hands and belly.





I'm pretty sure he has a natural talent, 
or maybe I'm just one super proud mommy,
but either way I think it's beautiful, and I can't wait to frame it.

    1. Haha no worries I'm not the most brave either. Just remember no clothes and water colors wash off so easy! :)

  9. How fun! I remember my daughter used to dislike finger painting and loved using a paint brush . . . then she flip flopped.
