Coloring Time!

Everyday I try to have craft time with Claire. She really enjoys coloring, play-doh, gluing, cutting (with help) and just about anything else crafty. I find a lot of cheap crafts in the dollar bin at Target. A hint to all my friends that are looking for inexpensive crafts! Anyway, recently Anna has shown a huge interest in all these crafts as well. She can color on our easel really well, which is so cute to watch. Today she got herself up on one of the chairs at our play table. Claire was coloring and she wanted to be apart of the fun! I gave her crayons and paper and she went to town. She sat for almost 15 minutes just coloring and watching Claire! It is crazy that my baby is so suddenly doing all these big girl things. Seriously... when did she grow up???




Claire's coloring has progressed quite a bit recently. She is really trying to stay within the lines. Aunt Beth got her a neat coloring book with raised boundaries that is supposed to help kids feel when they go out of the lines!




Big girl coloring!!

AND, I so look forward to seeing Miss Claire's cheesy smile...that is priceless!
Anna is going to want to do EVERYTHING that Claire does! Get ready!

This is why the second and third children have a big advantage from being the first born in the family. They pick up so much from their older sibling. Isn't it a neat thing?
