I also picked up a el-cheapo bird house paint set in the Target dollar section. It was a great 1 hour, sitting in one spot and all mess is contained to the table type of project. He just loved it so much. Even drew some murals in the inside so when Mrs. Birdie goes in she can enjoy an Elliot original masterpiece!
Everything went so great. I let him down and told him to hold his hands up and not to touch anything because his hands were icky and we were going to go wash them. On our way to the bathroom, I had a momentary lapse of judgement and let go of him and in that split second he was gone. Across the cream rug, pass my cream colored throw pillows and towards my windows with white trim. But its ok because my white sheer curtains blocked his hand plant into the window and no paint got on the window. In that 2 second span of time I saw the life of all light colored fabrics flash before my eyes and I cursed myself for owning so many non toddler proof items.
Oh well, you live, you learn, you tell yourself you had 1 hour of him being ridiculously happy and contained!
