I love to let the girls paint. I am not always good at just letting them do it and often times I have to remind myself to stop what I am doing and sit with them while they create something. There is always something else that needs done or I have to get Reed down for a nap. But I try once a week to have a craft for them to do. A couple of weeks ago, the girls painted their own box to put their special things in. And they turned out so beautiful. True to their personalities (and ages), Saige's is very orderly and Meadow's is well... messy. They were so proud and they carried them around for days.
You are such a good mom. I love there special treasure boxes. Those are keepers. They will remember these special days with mom.

Cheryl, cute boxes~ good for you for incorporating crafts into each week. It sure is a challenge with three little ones, but aren't all great things that are rewarding slightly challenging?
ReplyDeleteCheryl...your patience is to be rewarded....and someday in the far future when you pull out these boxes the girls painted....you will smile and remember......besides I see a budding talent here...who knows what the future will hold???
