kid paint
above: Lily with a rainbow
it’s funny when i think back on all the rules Will and i had for Lily before she was even born
like no phone!
it’s also funny seeing how many of those rules go out the window once that child is actually born
don’t get me wrong, Lily has lots of rules. and she usually follows them (as do we)
but, ever since i became a mom, i have learned to pick my battles
if we are out somewhere with no toys, no coloring books or crayons, and Lily has reached the point of boredom and fatigue, she will often ask for my phone
“can i do kid paint mommy please?”
and i will gladly hand her my phone where she nowadays busts out some pretty awesome doodles
kid paint to me is a more advanced technological etch-a-sketch and i have no problem with Lily getting creative with it
now the ipad and games… that we have a limit for
what about you? do you let your little ones play with technology?
happy ARTsy wednesday!

Doodles on acid… cute!! lol Yah, we always vow we’ll *never* let ours have cell phones…. and we don’t even have ones ourselves!! ha.
But every time my sis comes to visit.. she lets our gal play this on her phone.. and she’s hooked!
I think it helps entertain in needed moments for sure.

Love the neon colors! Of course I let Lily do everything I said I wouldn’t. Before she was born we swore never to let her watch tv (was going through my Madonna phase) but that went out the window right away. Whatever works for every mom…I don’t judge 🙂

@Yoly,
i know, Will and i said the same thing. no tv, no computer.. yeah right! but at least we don’t just let her watch anything.
quality stuff for sure.
