He's Creative, Who Knew?

So, I always thought I would have the same energy and enthusiasm with all four of my kids. Trevor and I would do many projects together. We still have a lot of the hand puppets, drawings, and stuffed animals around that we made. I think the other kids see them and wonder where they came from. So, as you can guess, Boston, Gage, Mallory and I just don't do that many creative things together. Although I do know that the few crafts we do together leaves them wanting to do more. Boston often asks to do a craft with me almost everyday. But, it is usually right when I am making dinner. So, when Gage asked to buy this simple bird house as the dollar store, I thought," why not, it's just a dollar and if it never gets done, then oh well." But, he surprised me and asked for paints and a paint brush and covered the whole thing. I think I need to get him using his hands for more than punching and hitting more often. I think this might be a better outlet!
