the bean truly enjoys coloring. sometimes it is one color per page, sometimes she uses every color in the box. sometimes on blank paper, sometimes it needs to be from a coloring book. regardless, it is always very animated and intense. there is a great amount of concentration going on during the coloring process, even if it only lasts 30 seconds. recently she has started telling me what she is going to draw when she has a blank sheet of paper. today she made a butterfly and a kitty. do they look anything like a butterfly and a kitty- of course not! they are lovely, colorful, artistic scribblings that i carefully label with the title, date and artist's name. i know i can't keep everything but there are SO many that i deem worthy! where is a mom to keep these types of treasures?? my heart is full when she is creating. i always loved art, i even studied it in college. now, my daughter seems to love it too- how awesome is that?! i'm beginning to wonder if we should branch out from crayons. would she like play dough? finger paint? glue? it all seems so messy yet i can see the joy that she would get from experimenting with new materials. i'm going to think on it.
potty update: he-he-he ha-ha-ha! no really, nothing is happening. she does tell us when she needs a poo-poo diaper changed right away. sitting on the potty though- just a means to get naked and run through the house. :) not quite ready, definitely not quite ready.
