The Future Artist

You know how when you go out to eat now, they have a printed kids menu or coloring sheet and the hostess gives you a few crayons when she seats you? Well, Gabe is SO into crayons and drawing now because of this. I had to go up in the attic in all of my teaching supplies and drag out some boxes of crayons to give him. He loves to sit at the kitchen table and color. He'll ask for his crayons and paper and scribble on every sheet for hours!

He draws lots of "pictures" and doesn't like to use the back of the paper or broken crayons...if they break he says "Nope, trash." Sounds like the kid is gonna be as anal retentive as his mother! Bless his heart!

Grandma just bought him a coloring book too and he thinks it's the coolest. He's learning to name the colors and he cries if a crayon rolls off the table. He especially loves white and black (zebra colors) and blue (the puppy's name & color on one of his tv programs).

Gabe has special crayons that color on the bathtub walls too and he likes them alot. His bathroom stays decorated with a rainbow of artwork. We'll keep you posted on if/when he colors anything he's not supposed to!
