“Mommy, I need some art for my wall and I want you to do it for me NOW.”

Matthew is all about the now unless of course I want him to do something now and then he pretends that he didn’t hear me or, as my Mother in Law has often wondered, that he’s completely deaf!  It annoys the shit out of me in a huge way which is why I think he does it.  So…being the stubborn one that I can be I took my sweet ass time make his art for his wall.

In fact, I started it and then changed it completely.  He liked the first one.  I didn’t.  The nice thing about paint is you can paint over what you originally painted and go in a completely different direction.  I started off making him something very little boy and, quite frankly, prissy.  Matthew is not prissy at all.  He is full of beans and vibrancy.  Even when he’s pissed off and demanding he is still full of life, zest and fun.  He’s colorful, cuddly and lovable – which is a good thing because otherwise I think I would have disowned him a few times already.

His art was completed today.  It is full of life and color too….and he LOVES it!
