Painting each other

Well, nearly a year after moving in I've finally got the opportunity to paint over the dirty apricot colour on the hall and landing walls. For some crazy reason I've enlisted the help of a two-year-old! Caleb of course is under the impression that we should paint the dustsheets, my trousers, his hands, the cupboard doors, the paintpot...

Actually he made a good go of it today, painting sharks (what else?!) VERY thickly on the walls. There'll be a fair amount more tidying up and white spiriting of things than usual but I think he had fun which is the main thing. As you can see he mastered the art of two-handed painting- a very advanced DIY skill! He'll be on to two lightsabers before we know it...

    Looks like someone decided to paint his hair too!

    Can we borrow him?? We have loads of stuff that needs re-painting!
