Things I learned today is less is better, less expect less stress.
I was excited for today's painting: drawing a spider net for Halloween and apple stamping.
She's okay with paint with apples but it's not her preferred way to paint. I prepared many colors and taped a spider net and a house for her to play. But, the reality is that she likes to draw worms, dots but doesn't like filling colors. At her age, she's still not got the idea of filling colors. She doesn't like the red color today and doesn't let me put red on her brush. She turned a little mad when I added red to her brush. But I didn't pay too much attention to her mood at the beginning. or in another way to say is that I did so many preparations which drove me to expect more on her, painting a good-looking picture. I found out she's quiet and not happy after I tell her not to throw color on mommy's cloth. I talked to her and tell her why not to do that. She understood but still not happy. I can feel that throwing color at me is the way that she expressed her unhappiness on something else. Might be she doesn't like me painting with red, might be she doesn't like to color the net, might be she doesn't like to way that red and green colors mixed together, might be that she feels stressed when I drew faster and more than her.
