Monkey Toes, the art critic

Marjie gifted Emmett a set of Wee Gallery Art Cards.  He LOVES them!  No kidding.  Well, I don't know if he loves them... that concept is probably beyond him at this point, but he is definitely interested in them.  Before anyone goes and buys him a his first palette and easel, I should say that he also finds the fan mesmerizing and stares long and hard at the big black rectangle of chalkboard paint on the wall in what one day may very well be a finished nursery (possibly in time for our next kid).  Sarah says he's in his modern art phase.


Just kidding.  No more kids.  But seriously, the nursery might get finished some day.  Note the advanced swaddle technique, here.  One arm out so that he can point and do his Dr. Strangelove thing.  


Morning cuddle time!


Here, the Dude demonstrates the benefits of monkey toes.  I look forward to many years of sharing in the moments of great pride that come with picking things up and even throwing them with one's feet.  Also, should I ever get into painting, he'll make a great easel.

He is adorable. He seems to be rather contemplative? Or, perhaps that is just when I see him...so looking forward to getting to know him. xxxooo
