art Art ART! I got some painting done in the morning before heading over to a friend's for several hours more with her and her daughter. Mom, you need to let her explore on her own. Let her figure out herself how to hold a brush, what colours go with what, and decide what she wants to paint without your interference - and your OCD about cleanliness makes the process really difficult. What if we agree to set aside a half hour next time for clean-up after we finish painting. I'm sorry. I try to understand. But it doesn't work. There needs to be a compromise I guess. Perhaps clean in stages?
