About a month ago, Eli finally turned the corner and started to enjoy coloring. He went from providing one or two small scribbles on any art work task he was presented with to attempting to color inside of the lines, with care and preference of color. While Mom-Mom was here this weekend, both kids got a chance to practice this skill a lot. Eli colored several Cars pictures, while Maddux tried to draw some letters and pictures of her own. Eli actually requested coloring as an activity several times.
Just two months ago it was like pulling teeth to get them sitting at the table entertaining themselves with crayons while I prepared dinner. And the last time I took Eli on a date, we went to the Biscuit, where coloring is a necessity while food cooks. As usual, Mommy colored most of the time while Eli just dictated. But now, he is an artist!! Both kids are going to enjoy school and the chance to color so much this year... I do wish Mad Dog's teacher luck though; she still gives crayons a taste test from time to time.

Last spring Andrew went through the coloring phase as well. He's still really into it and it's a great stress relief for me so we usually color together. I love to see how their little mind works and how they get creative with colors.
