Crayola Artist
The crayons were a huge hit today! After Sam finished breakfast this morning, I unveiled his new treat. I taped a piece of paper to his high chair tray (so it wouldn’t move around so much – thank you for the tip, random parenting article that I can’t recall anything else about right now) and showed him the crayons. He’s not completely new to crayons: he’s gotten them at restaurants once or twice, and I’m pretty sure he’s played with them at school. Still, these were new crayons, so he had to inspect them first. Once I reminded him how they worked, and he realized that these fat crayons fit his little hands pretty well, he went to town!
These things are SO fun!
First masterpiece in progress.

And you know what? This coloring thing makes you HUNGRY…
Yes, those are crayon pieces on his chin...
Gnawed-on crayons.
Not to worry, he really didn’t ingest all that much crayon (and they’re nontoxic); I found several pieces in his lap and his chair. And now, some shots of the dinnertime coloring:
Dinner time color spectacular!
And, since I promised some pictures of the masterpieces that resulted from my impulse buy yesterday:
A day's worth of coloring.
Clearly, he’s an incredibly talented artist and these scribbles will one day sell for a gazillion dollars.
