B-Wyatt, I'm going downstairs to paint, want to come?

W-running down the stairs, Yes.....

B- I bought you this new table and chair, to put next to me, so we can paint together. ( out grew his easel somewhat)

W-touching everything...can I use your paints?

B-No, let me find some older tubes of watercolor and I think I bought some for you. Also you can use real watercolor paper.

W-Oh..Where is my brush and water jar?

B-Where do you think?

W-he gets up to go in the bathroom where we wash things out.

B-Can you reach the water to fill up the jar?

W-No, I need help! He may be climbing the sink at this time.

B-I notice my expensive sable brush next to his, I go to grab it, he says, " I wan't that one."

I know you do, but that is mine. The new table, and chair, new paints, and your old brush should work good.

W-don't forget new paper! ( oh lord jesus, he forgets nothing) ( that was me talking in hyphens)

B-this is fun, to paint so close, and use the same supplies? right?

W- I want to squeeze the tubes. 

B- Can you squeeze a little? Its can be hard?

W-Yes I can!! ( Big plop in each painters palette!!)

B-Ok, I'm going to paint also, maybe the ocean or sky? What do you think it looks like so far?

W- the ocean without fish

B, OK I will add some fish, ( I look and there is about three shades of green on this paper)

B-What are you painting? A tree?

W-(Big sigh) The color green Uma!!! Can't you see it?

B. Well yes I can, and its fantastic.

W-Did you know I am five?

B-No, I think you are four.

W-No I am FIVE. ( he got up to stand by a table) See, how tall, I am FIVE!!

B-Well, I guess you are. Are you sure?

W-Yes I am sure, ( he holds up his green picture) ( no words, just a look) ( like you are the artist Uma, who can paint green like this?)

B-You can be five, today, tomorrow, I don't care, Five is wonderful, and you an be five twice, if you like.

W- told you..

B-Do you know I love you?

W-Yes, Yes I do, can I paint something different?

B- Yes you can,( you big Five, four year old.)
