Daddy the Painter

David is working hard to get the outside of our house painted this summer. David loves to paint, and in fact is planning to become a painting contractor when his stint as a SAHD (stay at home dad) is over. However, it is quite difficult to get the exterior of a house painted in the 20-minute intervals he can scrape together in between watching the baby, doing the grocery shopping, cleaning the house, and doing the laundry. We've been sending Elizabeth to a DMO (daddy's morning out) program 2 mornings a week to help him get time to finish. However, that still leaves only about an hour to work each morning, after taking out time for prep and clean-up. Given his time limitations, he's making great progress!

To help him out, I've watched Elizabeth during some weekends/evenings, to give him some time to work. Elizabeth loves to watch her daddy paint. She'll sit and stare at him through the window like she's watching kiddy TV. If only he would sing and dance while he paints, he'd be as cool as Barney!

Here are some pics of Elizabeth being mesmerized by watching her daddy paint. She is definitely a Daddy's girl!
