December 22, 2011 at 7:01 amYou are KILLING ME with your children’s cuteness. My sister in law is expecting a girl in a couple of months, and your posts just make the waiting worse. And your son is all eyes. And I love stripes.
Moving on now.

December 22, 2011 at 7:15 amI had one of those as a kid! And, unfortunately, my parents’ idea of “easy kid cleanup” was not to wrap me in a giant smock, but to let me paint naked. I have the embarrassing photos to prove it…

December 22, 2011 at 11:58 amThat’s smart! I bet the photos are pretty darn adorable.
Melissa
December 22, 2011 at 8:33 amLove love love it! She looks hard at work and that lil smock is so cute on her.
Jules
December 22, 2011 at 8:53 amShe looks EXACTLY like you in these pictures! Gus, not so much. Strange, because I always thought he and Eleanor looked the same, but with different noses. Isn’t it weird how a different camera angle can change the way someone looks, or bring out their different features?
Making it Lovely
December 22, 2011 at 12:05 pmI always think Gus looks more like me than Eleanor does, but I see me and Brandon in both of them.

December 22, 2011 at 9:19 amSO CUTE! Look at that focus!

December 22, 2011 at 9:46 amAm I a bad mom? Because my first thought when I see these photos is, “How fun! We should do that,” but the second thought is, “But what about the mess? Is she not worried about the rug?”
Also, I commend you that August looks as well-dressed as Eleanor always does. As a mom of two young boys, I’ve found it hard to find nice-looking boys’ clothes. I admit to fawning over little pink coats and purple dresses and sparkly shoes at stores…why does it seem that girls get all the cute stuff?

December 26, 2011 at 12:30 amGirls’ clothes are always better than the boys’. It takes a lot more digging to find the stuff that isn’t covered in sports, vehicles, and licensed characters!

December 22, 2011 at 10:16 amI love her hair! They are both so sweet.

December 22, 2011 at 10:56 amThis is sweet!
Diana
December 22, 2011 at 11:01 amThat is so sweet.
A friend of mine just recently forwarded me a website where you can scan in your children’s art onto canvases. I imagine that you could do that at any site like that and your daughter’s little master piece reminded me of it.

December 26, 2011 at 12:32 amWhat a good idea! I saved this one because I liked it. Kind of chic with the all black look, right?

December 22, 2011 at 11:01 amso darling :)

December 22, 2011 at 11:02 amI love the little setup you have… easel, apron, wipeable floor! Eleanor looks so focused on her craft. Is Eleanor a lefty? So’s my Chloe.
Making it Lovely
December 26, 2011 at 12:33 amWe think she’s a lefty, but she still switches and used the right hand sometimes too, so we’re not sure yet.

December 22, 2011 at 11:11 amVery abstract! Love it!

December 22, 2011 at 11:15 amOh no! August just spilled all the black!
There is some serious cuteness happening with those two.

December 22, 2011 at 11:19 amUh huh, did you catch that? :) The paint is very thick, so luckily it didn’t really spill. He did get paint all over his hand though, which he then smeared immediately on his face!
Nadine
December 22, 2011 at 11:33 amI can totally see you in your daughter (: did she look like you when you were her age? :D
Making it Lovely
December 26, 2011 at 12:33 amI think so. I should find some old pictures of me…
Melissa
December 22, 2011 at 11:52 amSo cute! Her apron is adorable :)
Mandi
December 22, 2011 at 1:09 pmIs it wrong that I kind of desperately want your daughter’s haircut? So cute!
Sasha
December 22, 2011 at 1:50 pmAdorbs!Your kiddos are too cute!
Miss B.
December 22, 2011 at 3:51 pmThese photographs are so sweet and here artwork is like Franz Kline, did she choose the black on her own? So modern!
Making it Lovely
December 22, 2011 at 3:54 pmIsn’t she on to something? I kept asking if she wanted to use another color (like her other paintings have had), but she insisted that this was to be just black.
(p.s. These photos were with the nifty fifty. Thanks again!)

December 22, 2011 at 4:47 pmI love to look of intense concentration in the first pic. She’s VERY serious about her art!

December 22, 2011 at 11:39 pmI feel like this is weird, but I am totally jealous of a toddler’s haircut right now!

December 23, 2011 at 5:06 pmWhat a lovely photo story these images make – such a wonderful moment beautifully captured :o)

December 23, 2011 at 11:23 pmI can tell from the photos that Eleanor is already a natural with a paintbrush. So funny, my sister-in-law is an interior designer and artist, and her daughter (3) is naturally drawn to art, too. She was obsessed with coloring and art from day one. It’s so exciting to me to see really young children become fascinated with art, especially if their parents are artists. As an artist and writer myself, and my husband, who is a musician, we’re looking forward to seeing our kids (that we will have someday, but NOT today) discover their interests. I wonder what they will inherit from us? :)

December 29, 2011 at 11:39 amI love how intensely she seems to be concentrating. So cute!@

It’s so important to keep feeding that creativity…
