Jake is all-boy when it comes to messes. The bigger the puddle, the better; the muddier the sandbox, the better; the bigger the tower of blocks, the bigger the crash will be when they fall. However, he's also a mama's boy and he knows that I don't like big messes in the house ("Take it outside!" is something he hears a lot from me). So when we got out the fingerpaints the other day he looked at me suspiciously as I showed him it was OK to use his hands (YES, I know it's sad that it's been that long since we fingerpainted...it's messy people!) It wasn't too long until he was literally elbow-deep in it and he wants to paint everyday now. An artist in the making?
