I love Ikea, this easel/art station was only Sixteen pounds, and my god it was worth every penny! Molly spent the morning with the white board and pens, then on to the chalkboard after breakfast & bathtime, then onto paper and crayons in the afternoon. She even found a paint brush at one point! We had the best day. I would of loved one of these as a child, I was obsessed with art, drawing, colouring, painting, sticking and I'm so happy Molly is sharing the same enthusiasm. She's always loved crayoning with her sketchbook but there's something special about having her own creating station there for her at all times. And there are so many things I don't want to forget about yesterday. Like the way Molly couldn't contain her excitement when I produced her a pen to drawer on her whiteboard. She didn't even shout for her breakfast I had to convince her to take a break. And I mean, Molly loves food like, more than me, and I'm her Mama. So I guess it now goes art, food, mama!
-Molly's tiny 'topknot'.
-Her concentration as she drew picture after picture. She looked so intelligent, so at peace.
-The way she ran over with a drawing implement every 10 minutes for validation of her work and a big hug.
-The way she would pause to have a dance everytime a song she liked came on the radio.
-Her tippy toes. Her tippy toes are still and will always be my favourite.
