More Beautiful

The other day, I needed Danny to stay put for a few minutes while I attended to something for our foster son.  So I set Danny up with some paints and paper and then I left the room… (do you hear the ominous music playing??) 

When I got back, Danny told me I hadn’t give him enough paint, so he poured himself a little more.  He said, “I wanted to do it more beautiful with a lot.”

I guess big (and messy) is beautiful in this house!  Now I know the next time I need to entertain a child, I need to evaluate whether the five minutes of playtime is worth the fifteen minutes of cleanup!
