Default It's not sweet......but I really must vent.......Please?!

okay....so EVERY year my MIL informs me that I am "going to regret buying that" in a mocking voice.

Last year it was this:




It's a blast. I play with it, Will plays with it, the older kids play with it. It's not very loud but it's enough to let him explore music.

This year it was this:



Why on EARTH would anyone not let their child do art/crafts and think that other's will regret doing so......it's not as if I bought him permanant paint or if I am going to hand him all 32 colors OPEN and leave the room.

I matter of factly told her that I certainly WOULD NOT regret it....we've painted before. And if she must know she was wrong last year about the drum and she would be wrong again.

I can't WAIT for DH to go back to work so we can dig into the paints.....he doesn't have the patience for stuff like that and will go bonkers if all the paint doesn't go on the paper or if he mixes colors or puts a wet paper on a dry paper he is working on, etc......IT'S ART...LET HIM DO IT HIS WAY......

i wonder where DH gets that from :shuffle:
