Ellie has been known to draw and draw when you give her crayons and paper. She's even been known to draw on our new walls!
Last week I decided to put her in her highchair and give her paint! She has really embraced the spirit of Thanksgiving because she
was full of "Tank Yous!" She just adored all of it! We started with fabric paint to make turkey hand prints on shirts. The next day, we made cards. She was mad when we washed hands because she thought she was done and really she wanted to free paint. of course, I was just cleaning her hands so she could free paint but trying to explain that to a 22 month old is just impossible.
On Thursday when we painted, Ellie had three sessions all prompted by her. She couldn't get enough and pouted every time we had to stop!

| Painting is serious business! |
 |
| I went out and found a few fallen leaves. She loved painting them and smashing them onto her paper. |
 |
| She decided to turn the pie tin over and paint the top. |
 |
| It is aggressive painting at its finest! Later, we made an imprint of the tin. |
Oh and Yes, Ellie does draw predominately with her left hand. Somehow we have ended up with 3 lefties in our immediate family. (Kate can really write with both, but is neater with her left.)
