In keeping with tradition, William painted his 2nd birthday canvas this week. He was very focused on painting, and did not like it when I tried to get him to look up for the camera. He used the paintbrush for the entire canvas, and only dipped his fingers in the paint once or twice. He immediately asked for his fingers to be cleaned. I determined his painting was complete when he started painting his arms with the acrylics. When I put his canvas on the counter to dry, he told me “one more,” which is William-ese for “Can I have another canvas to paint?” Here is William’s first birthday canvas for comparison.
