I love art. This makes me happy. PIP

My kid LOVES drawing.  It's one of her favorite activities.

I was unpacking a box this morning and she spotted this awesome set of markers I have.  I couldn't resist her "oooooooOOOOOOOOOOooooOOH" and let her color with them.

  She really does concentrate.  Check this out - with a pen the other day.  She looks like she's writing a letter.

When E was this age, I would buy her the huge (figure drawing type) sketch books and kept it all in one book. I also got her the smaller sketch books for her to take when we went out for the day in the stroller.

And you're braver than I was.  I only gave her crayons....markers scared me at that age! 

[alzi]

And markers on your wood floor! Brave soul.

[tdk2]

she's been using my old, partially used sketchbooks. however, if i give her the whole book, every page gets a scribble.

i am never out of reach when i let her use markers, and it's one at a time.

[tdk2]

i like the small sketchbook for walks! great idea! does E still like drawing?
E is good at it!

[ProfessorArtNerd]

Lucy loves her sketchbooks. She does still do that one scribble per page immediately thing, too. oh well, she keeps working on them!

I can't believe how big (and cutttte!) she's gotten, tdk2!! Awww!

We cover E's play table with 24" wide paper from a roll. He loves to color, too.

She's adorable.

Awww.

Psst- I see your door is open and I am jealous.

haha, don't be.  It's a storm door, and dh was using the small window of time between snowstorms to install the chimney cap on our chimney so we can actually use our fireplace.   I was back and forth between the deck off that room handing him tools, and playing w/ C in that room.  I left that one ajar so I could hear him yell if he fell.  haha.  He just got it done by the time the ice rain started.  Now we're back to snow.


And I can't believe how big she's getting, too!

That is adorable. And I would have gone OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH if I'd seen that pack of markers. Not much is more awesome than a giant pack of markers. Clearly I have issues.

[julesf84]

Aww that's the sweetest thing ever. What a cutie! I can't wait until J colours.

Jermys: I'm totally the same! I get a mega hard-on when I go to Staples.
