Due to mistiming my doctor’s appointment today Eli has had 15 minutes and that is the full extent of his sleep since 7 this morning.
Joy!
When he turned ratty after me seeing the doctor I decided against throwing him out the nearest window as, apparently, throwing your irritable munchkin’s from great heights is illegal!
Instead we went to the shop a bought a cheap craft paint set- the best 15 dollar investment I have ever made!!
Eli, I have decided, from watching him day in and day out, is a very creative child. He already role plays in his own quaint way, he makes all his toys talk to each other and they enjoy many a tea party.
Eli will be one of those children, I believe (as he is already showing signs of it) that needs to be constantly stimulated and kept on his toes or he will have the potential to be a very naughty child
Drawing will keep him entertained without fail most times for lengthy periods of time! And music! Oh lordy my child has music running through his veins! I may be biased but I’m pretty sure most times he bops right on time to the beat. He is so musically inclined he can hear a tune from miles away and he will just randomly start dancing, Nic and I finally catch up, can hear it too and just stare at him in amazement!.
One thing my Dad really encouraged was my brother and I to be artistic and this is something I would like to foster and nourish in my own child. To me, there is no better way to express yourself than when you find that creative medium that fits just right.
Eli has mastered drawing lines, he is a veritable line king!
I cannot wait to have thousands upon thousands of stacks of little fanciful crayoned or painted masterpieces he may procure in the years to come.
The set I brought him today was wonderful as there were so many mediums for him to use with so many textures. There was classic paint brushes and acrylic paint, there were rollers and sponges and sponge paintbrushes, textured paper and watercolour paint
He had a ball exploring the feelings, colours and ( i must be honest) taste of hi new set and the joy on his face as he discovered each new thing was priceless.
So, although, we were both sick of each other well before the time Nic Came home from work, we worked together and learned a new way of making a relatively restless day more enjoyable for the both of us.
I love You Eli Harrison Jarrett and I hope that all this one on one time stimulating your mind will help you flourish into a right little gentleman because you are teaching me so much each and every day I spend with you.
