Last week my sister and I took our kiddos to Ceramicafe to do a little painting. It was so much fun to watch the kids get so excited about it. They loved every minute of it, from picking their piece to choosing paint colors, and the of course, the actual painting of it. Children are so creative, and so uninhibited. They are not afraid to express themselves through art. I love that. Somewhere along the road of my life, a little bit of a perfectionist came along for the ride. That, combined with my indecision, has hindered my ability to be {artistic}. Or maybe that just isn't my gift? No psychoanalysis necessary! ha. I don't know, but it sure is refreshing to watch children in that sort of setting. Children really know how to live. The are free, they are honest, they love and they laugh- uninhibited by things we adults get hung up on. I love seeing the world through their joyful and innocent eyes. They still have so much to learn about life, and yet they are teaching me about it.
"He called a little child to him, and placed the child among them. And he said: 'Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.'"
Matthew 18:2-3

How fun! I have something similar to a Ceramicafe nearby and I constantly consider applying for a job there just so I can see and help the kids who come in.
I was just thinking of doing this with B... I think he may be a little young yet though.
Love it. We have a similar place here and it is on our summer list. On a side note, I tried adding your button several times last night and it was not working. Hmmm....
