Judah loves to color. I don’t remember exactly how we figured this out, but one day Judah got a hold of a pen and the rest is history.
I think…..I remember one day when I was making a weekly menu plan, something distracted me; and he grabbed my pen and started scribbling in my notebook.
It’s interesting to me, and we are encouraging it as much as possible, because I don’t remember any of my other boys being this interested in drawing or coloring.
The other two boys never really showed any interest in anything to do with pens or pencils or coloring…..it just wasn’t their thing….
But Judah seems to really enjoy seeing the marks that he can make on the paper. At this point, he will use either hand to color even though, he seems a bit stronger with his right hand. Mind you, if you try to take the pen out of his left hand and put it into his right hand…..he is NOT happy about that. There is a lot of screaming and general upset-ed-ness…..
I wonder if he’s gonna grow up to be an artist or……if he’s just really gonna enjoy coloring? We’ll just have to wait and see.
(part 2 is still coming…..I promise)
