Color My World

The other day there was a paper on the floor and Jaden knocked my pen off the desk and tried "drawing" on the paper. Course the pen was closed so he just got frustrated. But this made me think Jaden must be old enough to color! So yesterday I brought his highchair in the livingroom (so he didn't think it was mealtime) andput him in, gave him a piece of paper and a crayon. I showed him just once what to do with it and he went right to creating! Never once did he even think to put the crayons in his mouth. Yay!
He colors with his left hand but only because his right thumb MUST go in his mouth! He did switch hands to make hard marks on the paper.

Jaden's masterpieces displayed on the fridge.

Hey theres a cool looking face on this one blue dots for eyes nose and mouth with a swig of orange for hair. Do you see it? My boy is so talented!
