I was coloring this morning with Benjamin in his Thomas coloring book, and found myself surprisingly invested in the picture. At one point, B wanted to draw on my page with me, and I was all "This is Mommy's picture...you color Percy on your page, bud."
Total nonsense!
He seemed a bit confused, but rather encouraged by how interested I was in the task.
"Ok, Mommy color Thomas...I'm gonna get a new book."
I guess it worked out for the best--we were both happy with the outcome! LOL
Anyway, what totally shocked me was how difficult of a time I had staying within the lines. I'm going to blame it on his toddler-edition fat Crayolas...because I was seriously struggling the keep the colors inside the lines. And I just wanted to make that picture of Thomas at the trainyard as beautiful as it was meant to be.
The killer is that my 4yr old niece handed me a perfectly colored picture this weekend...and I was so proud of her for staying within the lines.
Is this honestly what I'm going to blog about today?
Ridic.
It's rainy and slushy outside...B just got up, and Jonny and I were able to sneak out for some groceries while B slept. Meijer was sooo much easier without negotiating the purchases of cars, trucks, and other B favorites.
Found a lot of new "gluten-free" treats for Jonny, so I'm psyched about that...let's just hope he likes all of it, as it totally broke the grocery budget!
Still tired from a long, but awfully fun weekend...pictures and details to come! For now I have to take the batteries out of a Fisher-Price guitar and bury them somewhere permanent.
