She's got talent

With no prompting from us:

"This is the eye [blue], and this is the other eye [green], and this is the nose [pink], and this is the mouth [pink line], and this is the hair [blue], and this is the eyebrow [green], and these are the ears [blue]."

Holy shit, she made a face! On purpose!

I was bored enough to bust out the tempera paints for the first time today, and Liza amused herself attempting to paint with all four colors at once on the same brush. I'll have to post a photo of the result - it's actually really cool.

She also used one brush to paint the bristles on another brush, and she watched me paint part of a cardboard box. And she tried to lick the brush. And she mushed all of her colors around until they turned brown.

So, basically, she's two. Go figure.

And yes, her painting apron does say "irresponsible" at the top. Can you think of anything more appropriate?

My kids paint faces differently. Perhaps there is some inner portal into their thought process - but we haven't found it. More of a portal-potty.
