christmas time.

today M asked me to stay after work and help her with a project she wants to do for C for a christmas gift.

she wanted to dip little C's feet in paint and have him walk across this giant paper. very cute. 

so, we did it and it didn't turn out "perfect" but she decided it would do.

then she said, "ok, let me get the cats and have them do the same." the cats?! you're going to go ruin this cool piece by putting your cat's paws on it? but, she insisted since they were their "first babies". she wrangled up the cats and they were, of course, pissed and didn't want to do it. 

it ended up ruining the whole thing and we had to redo little C's original work. it looked really great, not perfect but scattered and fun. like something a child would actually do. she's having serious anxiety that it's not perfect and is really upset that it didn't work out with the cats paws..
