♥MMM, Crayons
posted on Wednesday, August 22, 2007.
My 15 month old son loves pens, markers, or crayons of any size, brand, or color. When he was younger i use to work in an office with my father and the only way i cool keep Vincent entertained long enough for me to do what i needed to do was i had to give him a handful of the fat permanent markers to hold and drool on. If i am at my computer and he is in my lap he reaches for every writing utensil he can see, he doesn't really put them in his mouth anymore, not as much as he collects them and carries them around. With school starting and all, the stores are filled with crayons, markers and paper so i bought him his first set of crayons to learn to color with. He took to it right away, i showed him one time how to draw, writing out his name in the brand new crisp piece of paper. He started coloring right away. Randomly i would hand him a different color and he would continue color with out missing a beat. I knew he was done coloring when he started trying to eat them.  He is now obsessed with the crayons, wanting them all the time. i kept them on the end table in the living room where he couldn't reach them. Until he learned to climb, then he waited for the perfect moment when i wasn't around and the living room was quiet.... ...."to quiet" i think to myself as i am sitting on the toilet going to the bathroom. I hurry up. (as all moms do when they have to go potty and there is a child at large who will have complete control over the house for the short few seconds you need to use the restroom) I go in the living room to see whats going on and what damage is done....... what do you know, there is Vincent on the couch sitting like a good boy, but wait...... is he..... eating crayons. "do they taste good?" i asked him calmly. "uh huh" Vincent replied. Only because if you ask him any question he replies with Uh huh. I told him "that's yucky, you don't eat crayons, you draw and color with them" and i took them away, but not before getting a picture.  Labels: color, couch, crayons, draw, eat
