Another difference Between Boys and Girls

Wgen Jack was a toddler, I used to buy crafty things (to non crafty people like me, this means markers and crayons and paints)and I would try my hardest to make him color, finger paint, whatever.
He would sit at the table for about 30 seconds, scribble a line or two, chew the ends of all of the markers, and say, "I'm DOOONE!" and hop down. To this day he still isn't much of a coloring kind of kid.

So much to my suprise, I sat Riley down the other day with some washable markers (learned my lesson when Jack had permanant marker on his face for a week) and some paper and she went to work. She must have sat there for 40 minutes. She would scribble up the whole paper, then get another piece and start the process again.

I finally got a kid to color with!


did I mention she also likes to eat the markers?!?


She eats with her left hand, colors with the right. I'm hoping the right hand wins. I'm not sure I can teach a lefty how to write.


ALL DONE! Pictures (and face and hands) are beautiful!
