There are many ways Scott and I are alike; there are also many ways we are very different. Besides the grace of God, I think this is a huge part of why we work so well together. We have to have common ground on the big things, but our differences are what stretch and grow us and what makes it interesting.
One of the things that I hope CJ and #2 get from their daddy is his artistic ability. I have none...I'm talking, I don't know how I graduated kindergarten I am such a bad artist. To encourage this in CJ, and really to let him have some fun, I found these crayon holders so he can color. They are a must for every kiddo who isn't ready for "real" crayons yet.
This was taken just before CJ bit the point off the green crayon. Now he will put them near his mouth and then shake his head no, no, no. From his immediate reaction, and the follow up reactions, I think he learned his lesson that crayons are NOT for eating. At first he just wanted to play with the crayon holders. They are a perfect size for little hands.
And aren't they cute? You can change the crayons out pretty easily too.
And here is the final masterpiece hanging on a prominent place on our fridge.
