Writer’s Workshop: What Did you say Mummy?
“What did you say mummy?” asked Tiger girl
“Am I to paint this side or the other side of the box?” she asked.
“You can paint any side of the box that you like dear” I replied
Tiger girl goes on to dab her brush into the blue paint on the palette.
“Mummy I want more colour!!” she requests.
” I want green,” she asks while pointing to the tube of green paint on the table.
I opened up the tube and poured some into the palette.
” I want yellow!!” she ordered next. ” No I want black”
I hold up both tubes to her and asked her again which colour she wanted.
“Both” she decided. I poured both colours out into the palatte for her.
” Mummy can’t paint!!” she fusses
” Of course dear, ” I replied” You got your brush upside down again. ”
Do your kids like doing art too?
Are they into colours?

So cute! Aiyoh. My girl also like to use many many colours! Don’t know she’s painting or messing the colours!

Hi Dominique, that was cute that she ‘couldn’t paint’.
My three-year-old granddaughter, KP, paints in school. She really likes that. Her big sister, age 15, paints and paints and draws at home. But KP does not paint at home. She does get her nails painted now and then by one of the girls or ladies. She really likes that.
KP is really into colours. At her stage she can draw and color shapes, circles are her best.

You will be so thankful for documenting these small moments. They grow up so fast! My daughters are now 14 and 10 – I assure you, the conversations change dramatically!

I really hope my brood is as artistic as their father. I didn’t get that arty side but I do LOVE galleries and I am sure I will get down on the floor and paint with them! Your little one is SO adorable. It’s great that you have all these memories.

lol that is too cute. My kids like art in school and used to love painting like this when they were preschoolers. What kid doesn’t love all kinds of colors? =)
October 25, 2012 @ 10:51 pm
So Cute!!! 12 line post…I gotta try that…LOL!
October 25, 2012 @ 11:18 pm
I’ve taken all of the art from the kids, and framed them to hang on walls in collage collections. They look great, and the adult kids(now) still love to see their work when they come to visit.

She is adorable! neither one of my daughters cared for art, but both of them draw very well and played piano.
October 26, 2012 @ 1:53 pm
what a cute girl! 😀
my first born who is an artist used to do this when she was young. we went and bought art materials for her way before 😀
October 26, 2012 @ 8:09 pm
My children all love to doodle, and create. They are all older now, but my 21 yrs. old still draw and paint. Yes, they also love bold colors!
October 27, 2012 @ 12:25 am
My kids have more crayons and color pencils and paints to last for years until their little sister came along. She is still trying to use them up!
Yes, they are quite artists. I saw some art work from T today that I thought a must post. So we are on the same wave length this week.
October 27, 2012 @ 10:36 pm
LOL, this truly made me giggle. Our grandchildren love to pint,draw and play with clay,I encourage all kinds of artistic expression. Thank you for joining in the fun at the Thursday Favorite Things hop. Happy weekend wishes xo

My daughter loves colors!
October 29, 2012 @ 4:27 am
My kids love to draw. It’s another way of them expressing their likes. My son likes just certain colors, usually very masculine, navy, black, red.
November 2, 2012 @ 3:57 pm
How adorable! She acts so grown-up.
November 6, 2012 @ 5:31 am
Ah.
Be still my heart.
She is such a joy.
I love that she has such strong opinions!
What a wonderfully fun link this week.
Thanks for sharing your wilful little beauty with us.
