It was our first foray into watercolour today, and I'll be incorporating some of your ideas next time (will we wait until Wednesday?). By the way, I love your blog. Your home and your ideas are so inspiring.

I made the boards in the summer but haven't got to making the paint pot holder! I love them!<br />xoxoJoeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01445299359657183179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5600619126692959890.post-85322574697316775192011-10-05T22:50:31.688-04:002011-10-05T22:50:31.688-04:00Dear Rebecca,

I will definitely try that next time we paint. I completely agree about waiting til they are ready to do it naturally. So often parents and teachers are trying to force children into their own ideals about what the child 'should' be able to do at a certain age.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14509321668018756288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5600619126692959890.post-53624992734462511642011-10-05T21:11:38.795-04:002011-10-05T21:11:38.795-04:00Your dad is so great!

I have gently advised about a childs muscles not having developed enough at age 5 for many things like writing and cutting. but i feel many people feel under pressure to have their child doing everything so quickly with no thought to whether they are physically ready. We are loosing childhood too fast in this day and age :-(<br />sorry rant over!!<br />Great painting. we are loving our watercolour painting and getting such lovely pictures! I will be re-telling your sunflower story. such a lovely idea! xxPiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00621297473976978463noreply@blogger.com
