Owen's first finger paints

I decided today was the day to try finger paints with Owen.  He's been getting more into art projects, and I think we're safely out of the putting everything in your mouth phase.  We went out to Target to get the paints, undressed (well just him!), and got ready for a mess.

at first he was cautious

I think he was worried about the mess ha ha!

Luckily, he got used to the idea and went to town

He has been working on writing his name lately and wanted to paint it too.  Here's the "O"

The "W"...I couldn't recognize any other letters myself.  It's also funny that he can only say "o" and "e" so he kept going o e o e o e the whole time he painted.

After completing 2 paintings he realized his hands were "yuck" and was done.

Here's one finished work of art.  Very fun!  He only really got paint on his hands and arms.  I was amazed!  I was ready to whisk him the tub when he was done, but we were able to just wash his hands in the sink.
