Noncooperative baby
We just got back from our “living with baby” class. Since Valentines Day is coming up the facilitator had some red paint to sponge onto the babies hands to make a hand print card for us mommies. Sophia, taking after mom, refused to cooperate and made a fist. She also started screaming when I went to wash her hand off. *sigh* Yep, she’s mine. Kurtie came with us for the class, which was nice. Sitting on the floor for an hour may have been a little hard, but I think it was good for him to get out and walk a bit (it’s a good little walk going from the parking garage to the class).
The inside of the card read,
Here’s my little handprint
Just so you can recall
Exactly how my fingers looked
When I was Very small!It comes with hugs and kisses
On my first Valentine’s Day
So I can say I LOVE YOU
In a very special way!I love you, Mommy!

That is an adorable idea. And I am tickled at the thought of you flipping to that “hand-print” in your baby book in years to come to see her fist-print. You’ll be amused every time you see it. It’s probably more memorable than a “real” hand-print would’ve been.
Cierra (my niece) was the same way. I wasn’t aware of her issues with messy hands, so I thought I was doing something great for her when I bought a set of finger paints and a large-pad art paper tablet when she was about 18 months old. She gingerly poked at it with a fingertip, and I was going in full-fisted, smearing paint all over the paper. She refused to join in.

I would be tickled at the thought too, but I haven’t started any sort of baby book aside from tracking every milestone on this blog. Sophia may hate getting wet but I doubt she’ll keep as clean as Cierra. If she’s like me - when I painted the rooms in our house you could tell what color everything was just by looking at me
