So the long weekend is upon us, yahoo. Yesterday was spent clearing out weeds and dead plant life. I planted some new ones, and then came inside. While I was gardening Craig was helping Ella do this.
This is her first go..............................
This is how it ended.......................
Those are tears and major disappointment. Don't give up yet bean Just keep trying, keep trying never give up. That was sung in my YO GABBA GABBA voice. If you are missing the reference, don't fret it is an annoying kids show.
So now with the training wheels off I am left to wonder should we just put them back on for a while. I guess it is kind of like diapers vs potty training. It is just easier for me to have her have them on. Ella is like someone else who will remain nameless. She doesn't like if she can't do something with relative ease. For now we will stick it out, there is always tomorrow.
Today I spray painted frames BRIGHT YELLOW. It is perhaps not the colouring I was aiming for, and the spray paint job is not perfect, but I love the intended function of it all. Max and Ella's gallery.
Oh ya, just keeping it real that is dirty laundry on the floor, but oh so close to the bin. To the left is Max's room, can you tell where some of these dirty clothes came from???
The pictures are just held in place with the clips so that the artwork can be changed as often as their clothes. The words on Ella's picture say "I want to be a lion when I grow up". Ella has informed me that the daycare teacher didn't know what she was saying. Ella said "I want to be a ballerina teacher when I grow up". Max saw the artwork and offered this comment "she looks scary". I think it is the giant fingers, but not sure.
I hope to finish the chalkboard wall tomorrow, I will let you know how it turns out.
