Mixing
I know it might look like painting to you but she calls it mixing. Chloe is not always overly fond of going to the house to work (I think it might have something to do with both her parents being preoccupied and never letting her play with the things that she wants to). While we were talking to Simon about having the kids at the building site with him he said that when he was painting he gave the kids a little bucket of paint and a brush and let them 'help' paint in a room that had not been painted yet. So on or last trip to the hardware we bought Chloe her very own paint brush and gave her a bucket of water instead of paint (smart idea with the water as she was one damp toddler when she had finished painting). I hope I don't come to regret letting her help paint by finding her in six months time helping to paint the already painted house with a pastry brush and something like yogurt or tomato sauce :).

Good idea Simon! Harri loves doing water painting on the cement at school. It is such a quick, and easy thing for kids to do and it can keep them entertained for ages. What about drawing on the floors with chalk? Would she be into that?
Love Chloe mixing. I still need some mixing done here, can you send Chloe up for awhile :)
