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<\/em> 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!<\/p>\n

These things are SO fun!<\/p><\/div>\n

First masterpiece in progress.<\/p><\/div>\n

First masterpiece completed<\/p><\/div>\n

And you know what? This coloring thing makes you HUNGRY…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Yes, those are crayon pieces on his chin...<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Gnawed-on crayons.<\/p><\/div>\n

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:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Dinner time color spectacular!<\/p><\/div>\n

And, since I promised some pictures of the masterpieces that resulted from my impulse buy yesterday:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

A day's worth of coloring.<\/p><\/div>\n

Clearly, he’s an incredibly talented artist and these scribbles will one day sell for a gazillion dollars.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
