Theo, The Artist

Everything was going smoothly. Theo and Addie were up from their naps. Jack had just returned from a friend's house. Everyone was enjoying a biscuit and a cup of milk. Jack and I decided to water the flowers out back. We left Theo and Addie happily upstairs. Leaving Theo alone with Addie is not an unusual occurrence. What I saw when I came back upstairs was thankfully not usual:




































Theo had 'coloured' with markers Addie's face black. Addie was sitting happily there still eating her biscuit. I asked Theo what Addie did when he was colouring her and he said she just scooted around (aka 'trying to escape').

Just for the record, the pictures were taken only after Theo was put in his room to be disciplined. We all know he doesn't need to know that I found this incident funny until he is much much older!

What a long-suffering little sister. She doesn't look the least bit perturbed!

LOL...I'm glad that Addie is so laid back. What was Theo's reasoning as to coloring on her face?

When I asked Theo what he was doing he said very unassumingly 'Colouring Addie'. When I asked why, he said 'I don't know.' LOL

Tattoos are very "in" right now but not something I wish for my grandchildren. I wish I could have been a fly on the wall while she was being decorated.

Sorry, typo on my deleted comment-- I can just picture this and it makes me laugh so much!! Addie is the star example of 'Stay calm and carry on'!!! :)

Oh, Addie is going to need lots of patience to survive, but she seems to be loaded with it. God does provide. The pictures are hilarious.
