acrylic paint because most of us have no clue what we're doing when we first become parents.

And we have to be forgiving with ourselves.

and the mess can continue throughout the middle

and pop up as you're going and you'll make mistakes are things that we think are mistakes but you really can't see the beauty in all of it until you step back and all those layers keep adding to the scene and all the details start to make sense.
