MARKERS!!!!!

On New Years Eve we went out to dinner with some friends and as usual the hostess brought a children's menu and crayons. We try every time to see if he'll color but usually the crayons go right in his mouth. This time, however, he watched me color and he took the crayon and made the most beautiful markings! We were so proud of him! This weekend I went out and bought the Crayola baby crayons and markers. They are shaped like eggs so it is easier for little hands. The markers don't have lids and they are supposed to be great for babies. We tried the crayons first and he did a few passes on the paper before throwing them on the floor (breaking one in the process). We gave him the markers next but they were a disaster! Jack got the marker part in his mouth and within a second his whole mouth was green! I think we'll have to wait a while before we try again. However, our OT is bringing fingerpaints on Thursday! We'll see how that goes!

WOW! That is awesome! That is early in "CHARGEland" I think for holding a marker!

Have you thought about the Aquadoodle water mats? He cannot make a mess with it AND it is super easy to draw...doesn't require any pressure!

Max just loves his on the wall!!!
