Jakob, The Messy Painter

I can count on one hand the number of times that he has willingly made himself a mess for art. Even at daycare they know that he won't participate in anything that will get his hands dirty. As a mom, I appreciate this, because I don't have to clean him all the time. However, I know that as a little boy, he needs to learn to get messy. So, like a good mom, I encouraged it!
