Infant artwork

ailbheLinnea has produced what I believe is technically termed a metric buttload of artwork. All of it is, naturally, of an exceptionally high quality and shows clear evidence of early genius, but she's bound to outgrow that. We display it on our walls. We shuffled some of it around this weekend, because we finally moved the mirror in the dining room so I can't see myself in it so often, and now have a panel-type display on the chimneybreast.
I actually don't offer Linnea a chance to paint as often as I used to because I'm so bad about throwing the stuff away. There's a huge portfolio behind the piano.
But I should let her at it more often - she deserves it! Her drawings of people now have mouths with teeth, eyes with iris and pupil, hands with fingers - her painting should be encouraged too.
But then I'll have to cull again.
I am a bad, bad mother.
(I realise that the obvious solution is a laminator and a ring-binder, yes, but that would be giving in to my weakness...)
