One of the songs on my Iphone is Somewhere over the Rainbow by Eva Cassidy which is definately my favourite version of this song. There is something truly magical about it and it just warms my heart every time I hear it. Maybe it is because there are something truly magical about rainbows. I am not sure if it is the magic of believing, the fairy tales that is attached to it or just the pure beauty of the rainbow.

Like there is something magical about the rainbow, I find watching your children grow equally as magical. If you take time out and ask your children question or just listen to them play the imaginary world they create is something really unique. So I decided to use this magic of childhood and took my daughter outside. Gave her a little stool and a paintbrush and asked her to paint me the rainbow. As I was taking the images she was gently balancing on the stool, stretching as tall as she was all the way up on her tip toes to reach higher then bend down and dip her paintbrush into yet another colour. Once she was finished painting the rainbow she continued to paint our house. She was talking me through the steps of painting the roof, the windows and the door. I could watch her hands move as she was painting.

Children don’t need a canvas, all they need is their imagination.

For those who are wondering about the adorable outfit, it is a dress and leggings by the Deutch designers Jottum. Their clothes are unique and love all the little details making the a sophisticated yet playful look. I purchased this outfit a couple of years ago and have been waiting for my daughter to grow into it.
