Wright recently has started loving arts and crafts. I had tried to get him to color or play with play dough in his high chair a couple times in the past and he showed no interest. Then my experienced mom friends suggested putting him at a table or somewhere that is not associated with eating. So we got out this small kids' table we had and he immediately loved it. Thanks Jennie and Sarah! We even added some cookie cutters and plastic cutlery. Now he begs to get out the play dough every day. Yesterday at school he colored/scribbled with crayons. When he got home, the first thing he did was go to the arts and crafts drawer and look for his crayons. He even knew how to hold them correctly (well at least pointy part down) - amazing what they pick up from watching other kids! Then when he was done, he was very insistent that he put the crayons back in the box by himself with NO HELP FROM MOM! Needless to say, this took a while :)
Working so intently.
What mom? I am trying to work here!
