Parenting fail with paint

In an attempt to be one of those crafty, creative moms, I actually made Nico homemade finger paint using flour, food coloring, and water. He's all about making messes with food, so I figured that this idea would be a hit! Well, I'm not sure exactly what I was thinking when I decided to do this, but in retrospect, I now know that it was a ridiculous idea. I don't recall his hand ever touching any of the poster board that I had ever so nicely taped to the sidewalk. Instead, he wanted to spill it all over (which only created a slippery mess for him to fall on) and run down the sidewalk with it.

Anyway, I get an A for effort, right?
