Painting Project with Reagan's Helping Hand

I am trying to finish as many projects as I can before I head back to school. I have done 5 rooms so far and the most recent being, Reagan's playroom. I painted an accent wall light green and then had her put pink, yellow, and purple handprints covering the wall. In the middle of the wall, it will say, "Kids and Toys-Gather Here," a wall sticker from UpperCase Living that hasn't come in yet. This past project was by far was the most challenging. Maybe it was due to the fact that having a one year old assist with paint, is maybe not the easiest or cleanest thing to tackle. It started out great--I would paint her hand and hold her arm and make a print carefully on the wall. She would squeal and say, "Oh Wow!" when pulling it off. After about the 2oth time, it wasn't like that at all. Her hand prints were looking more like that of an alien instead of a cute child, and we were both crying by the last one. That is when I knew it was time to call it quits and she had had enough--and so had I!! All in all though it looks pretty cute and every time we go in there she wants to touch the prints that she made.
