colorific

We spent most of today teaching Sage to use her new watercolor paint set. She had a blast, smearing colors all over paper and used illustration boards with a variety of tools-- brush, sponge, and, naturally, her hands. There were some initial problems when she tried to put her foot in the bowl of brush-cleaning water, then tried to wash her face with the murky water; but all in all, she picked up the concept pretty quickly.

In fact, she loved it so much that the brand-new set was all but used up by evening. I'd previously thought that orange was her favorite color, because it's the one she always points out to me whenever we're walking around. However, orange turned out to be the last color remaining in the entire palette, so I guess she's not that crazy about it after all. Maybe she just likes the word?
