Jaylene gave Jayden lessons, and he was an eager student.
Check out his technique… how does the paint brush stay there?
Shortly after the painting session started, we let Jayden follow his muse, clad only in his diapers. A good choice as he thought self-expression meant adding paint to his body. This is the look he gave me after he got caught licking the paint a few times.

Go check out what the other families did this week for the Paint weekly challenge. What painting activities do you do with your kids?
A strong earthquake hit Northern Taiwan at around 1 am, but it was deep and not in an urban setting so I believe no one has been hurt. Various sources differ on the strength but the Central Weather Bureau lists it as 6.0.
