The Art of Intelligence...


Ethan and I were so excited when we decided to invest in a new mattress set, one that would finally allow Ethan to sleep with his feet on the bed. I, hesitantly, let Ethan run to Bed Bath and Beyond to pick out a sheet and comforter set, in my previously appointed color theme. We decided that William would need a nap and he and I would stay home and nap on the new bed. Well I apparently was more tired than he was and fell quickly to sleep, only to wake up to a little art project he had been working on for the last twenty minutes. William had colored our mattress in the most vibrant orange permanent marker he could get his little hands on. Needless to say I was not thrilled, this may have been the most expensive thing we have bought and all in money from our own account, soo exciting. With the boys being away I have found some new appreciation for Will's art work...I was noticing how it was really smart that he tried to fill in all the circles. Granted he's only 18 mos so I think it shows intelligence that he thought up a strategy for placing the vibrant color. Man that boy amazes me and maybe someday I can sell my mattress for more than we payed for it because it will be the early works of the famous William Wagstaff.
