Raining Cats and Dogs

Today it is rainy and it is cold.  I keep seeing other blogs that show families frolicking in the sun, playing in the grass, even out in swimsuits. 

Not us.  We are stuck inside.  What's more, I don't have a car today, so a trip to the library story time and even the grocery store is out.

So I thought I'd give Cora the chance to make a mess and create a masterpiece.

Perhaps I'm biased, but I think she's quite the artiste.

Plus she looks great in blue.

And red.

Why, just look at the fruits of her labor!

See, she's proud!

But an easy clean-up it was not.  I approached her with a baby wipe or two and quickly realized that was laughable.  So I had to grab her from behind and plop her in the tub.  You may wonder why her bathtub is a catering bus tub.  Well, let's just say it comes in pretty handy with a child who seems to like to go #2 only in the bathtub.  Ahem.  Makes for easier clean-up.  And it gives her practice sitting up in the water.  Fancy baby gear from Cash and Carry.

Luckily Cora is quite washable.

But Melissa and Doug's washable finger paints did NOT remove well from the high chair tray. 

Guess I'll keep scrubbing.
