As you may recall, these days T is very enthralled with coloring. So, during one of our recent trips to Target, I decided to buy him a fun little treat - water colors. Here's a peek at his first aquatic art experience.
T hesitated ever so slightly when I told him it was A-OK to draw on the tub. Then he was off on his creative craze. The bath has never been so colorful.
And, as if coloring on the tub was not enough fun, T was completely giddy with the idea of drawing on himself. He immediately wanted a "big green T" on his tummy.
Now, I know what some of you are thinking. Allowing a color-loving two-year-old to draw on the "walls" and on himself is going to come back to haunt me. Well, I won't lie. I was a bit concerned about this possibility myself. However, so far....so good. As of now, T is able to distinguish between his tub-time crayons and his regular old Crayolas and we have not yet seen any new artwork on our real walls or on an out-of-the-tub T. Then again, it's only been four days......

Brave move! Even it does backfire on you I think it was worth it considering the look of complete joy on T's face!
Happy Birthday, Stacy! Thanks for your friendship.
