China!!

No, not the country this time - the porcelain :-)

Me and Little Miss Sensible took Little Prince to the local pottery today, so that he could paint a mug each for his nursery teachers, to give them as a leaving present. It was a daunting task!! We were surrounded by shelf after shelf of delicate pottery items, just waiting to be painted - or in Little Prince's case broken?? We sat either side of him on a chair, and made sure his little legs didn't swing and kick too much, his little arms didn't wave around too much and his little fingers didn't grab too much!! Apart from that we left the 'design' up to him :-)

The lady in charge put blobs of different coloured paint onto a white tile, gave Little Prince a brush and he was away!! He daubed paint all over the mugs, inside and out, mushed all the colours together and had a whale of a time. The mugs will be glazed and fired overnight ready for collection tomorrow - I'll try to remember to post a picture. They are certainly unique creations :-)

And even though he has had a bit of a 'wild boy' day, I am very pleased and proud to report, that his behaviour was exemplary :-) And he didn't break anything. Just keeping everything crossed that I can manage to collect, transport, wrap and give the mugs to the teachers with as much success!!!
