Budding artist

Tucker got an easel for Christmas from his grandparents and is very much a fan of it! We've transformed the upstairs hallway into an art gallery to show off his creations... a little bit more exciting than the blank walls that were there previously. The chalk is always around and he likes to go up to it and scribble and tell us what it is and then laugh hysterically. Last night we caught him trying to draw on the chalkboard with an ear plug! It wasn't working too well.

The paint is the most exciting, of course, which means that I have to hide the paint really well. When I was assembling the easel, Tucker was so excited to paint that he pried open the paint drawer in the desk (popped out three screws in the child safety lock!). We have invested in longer screws since then and I will be surprised if he can break into Fort Knox paint drawer now!

(FYI, the picture of Austin is one that Tucker took, so it is related to the artist theme, in case you were wondering.)
