Red and yellow and blue and green, orange and purple and white

I had milk yesterday by accident and am pretty damn' sick today. If it wasn't for the rectocele, this morning's bathroom episode would have been quite bearable, but I've been temporarily reconfigured.

So Rob is working from home and Linnea is watching TV and painting alternately. Rioght now Rob is in the other room and Linnea and I are in the dining room. She's mixing colours.

The thing is, she's deliberately mixing colours to get her chosen third colour. She knows how to make green and orange. She's mixing orange in a seperate paint pot and then using it to paint with.

Yesterday she did this with green. I don't know if she's done it with green today; I can't see from my bed on the sofa.

Whoa. I'm boggled that she not only is mixing colors, but doing it in a seperate container. Most kids I've seen would end up mixing it in the container that has one of the other colors :-)

Oh, she does that TOO, but it's clearly a different process. This was putting red in the seperate pot, and then yellow in the seperate pot. She didn't use a clean brush, so there's a bit of red in the yellow, but that, I think, is hardly the point.

(All colour-mixing projects lead to a kind of browny purple if sufficiently prolonged though).

I assume you're counting minutes...
