When Lillian naps and Maren doesn't I try to let Maren do things that we just plain can't do with Lillian around. Painting is one of those things. Maren is happy to go down in the basement and paint while we listen for Lilly on the monitor and her attention span for it is quite short so clean up time comes quickly and calmly.
When Lillian is awake there is no painting, at least not with acrylic paint. We have to find other things to do. Maren is now trying photography. Here is one of her latest:
And then it's markers. I don't like these out while Lillian is awake because she really likes to color but Maren managed to draw a quick picture while Lillian was drawing with an ink pen on her shirt.
Here is Baby Olivia (my friends Dan and Erin had a baby on 8-8) getting her diaper changed. Note the belly button, ears and hair! Wow! I think Baby Olivia is from the line of Mr Potato heads but she's cute none the less.
