Suddenly crayons
By Nathan Wade
| Tuesday, August 5, 2008, 07:45 AM
Suddenly Sam is very interested in crayons.
He likes to open his coloring book and lay all of his crayons out on a page, in nice rows.
Then he puts the crayons back in the box.
You may notice that very little coloring is occuring. It’s all about getting out the crayons (which he’s calling “book,”) and putting them up.
A variation of the game is to get all the crayons out of the box, then try to wedge as many as he can between his foot and the bottom of his shoe. The crayons point outward from the toes.
I’m not sure what it’s all about, but I remain hopeful that this will lead to some actual coloring. So far, he’s scribbled a little on one page and the inside cover.
All in all it seems pretty similar to what he was doing with the coins and plastic gemstones, but without the rattling noise. I’m sure it’s part of his motor skills development.
It’s just funny to watch.
