A valentine treat for Daddy...

Landree and I made a special gift for Jeff (Daddy) last night while he was at youth praise team practice. Landree had a great time painting this special portrait for her Daddy. After she had finished with her part of the project I 'stamped' her feet in the middle of it. I have an obsession with hand and foot prints. I always want to be able to look back and see how big she was. I decided later I wish I had put them on the back, but we'll know for next time. Here are a few other things I learned in the process.

1. Don't trust a 16 month old with a paint brush even if you're standing right there.
2. Buy non toxic paint (I did)
3. Don't say that looks good Landree while painting. It was immediately followed by a lick of her finger and yum!
4. Have fun and plan to be messy! I had planned on both.

I loved doing this with Landree and can't wait to do these types of things with her more as she grows.
