Having so much fun

Getting messier

Trying to let me get a closeup of the paintbrush

Little piggies


I guess he had fun


I admit it, it was TOTALLY messy BUT so much fun! Next time I will be participating instead of taking photos.

Ready to come inside to take a bath


Time to get clean


The official Painting Diaper. I cannot believe it, but I am totally ok with one of my favorite cloth diapers looking like this. As a matter of fact, it could be worth money some day. First edition diaper art by Baby A. LOL


Inspecting his work
