July 2005 -
This is probably the first time that you really painted something at home.
Usually you do crafts like this at school.
I know it’s a lot of fun, but...(!) I also know what your clothes look like when you get home (what a mess!).
I am also worried about your little brother tagging along behind you (how he’ll touch everything and put things in his mouth)... Is it a good idea to let you do it? Then I realize that you are 4 years old and capable of lots of things. So at the craft store I get you all you need: crayola paint, brushes, a “no-spill” cup, a few terracotta vases, your little brother’s food jars, some wooden shapes (and a BIG plastic sheet to keep the area clean, of course!). Nonna and I will never forget this day: 3 hours in a row without leaving that stool (with three thick phone books stacked on it, so you can sit comfortably at the height of the kitchen island). Looking at you, I decide to take some pics. I’m amazed by you. You are -deeply- involved in your painting, and your concentration is so intense (as always, like in everything you do). I have to catch you in action!
I almost forget you are there with me (while I’m making dinner).
Then I turn to check on you...
...oh what a mess! (at least you are good enough to keep everything on the plastic sheet). After the first moment of panic, I start to laugh... and you too. “Look at my hands, Mommy” you say!!! “Look at your face” I say! I get my camera, and I get more pictures so I can show Dad!
Now, the least fun part of all: clean up. Especially you!

The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up."
