Fun with Kieran

I got a paint-with-water book today from my school (give-away) and let Kieran give it a go... he really seemed to enjoy it and "painted" four different Toy Story pictures. I was really impressed when he pointed to the title and said, "Toy Story!" as if he were actually reading the words!

Gotta love an art project that requires virtually no clean up :)

I was also very impressed with his grip- although he also had the fist-grip, he did demonstrate a pretty sophisticated hold of his brush- way to go little artist!

This is a project Kieran made at Runge this past weekend. They were having a Woodpecker extravaganza that included demonstrations on calls, stuffed specimen, and lots of hands on activities. He also made a suet (bird) cake that we gave to my folks.

In  other Kieran news, he has been talking up a storm and saying some pretty funny stuff... here are a couple gems that come to minde:
Rick likes to call KP his little "baby burrito" after bath, when he is all wrapped up in his towel. Last  night, Kieran said to Rick, "daddy's a taco"!
While reading an animal book Kieran saw an elephant with her baby and then noticed the near by zebra didn't have a baby, he said that the zebra needed to "go to the baby store and get a baby, a small baby." I love the way his little brain works- so sweet and yet perfectly logical ;)
