Both kiddos have developed a newfound interest in coloring lately. They will happily sit at the table together: Harper adding color to nearly every page in her book, and Ryder meticulously working on one picture from start to finish. I'm amazed at how well he colors within the lines now, and he's so proud of himself! I've bought a few new coloring books and refreshed our crayon and colored pencil supply to encourage my little artists. I've always thought coloring is relaxing, so I like to sit and color with them when I can. The picture of Bert and Ernie that I colored this evening even impressed Ryder. Ha!
I couldn't resist taking a picture of one of Ryder's first school "assignments" this year. He had to draw a picture of our family and then tell a little bit about us so the teacher could write it down. So sweet!
(Andrew and I were wondering about the colorful dress-like outfit he's wearing in the picture while the rest of us are stick figures. My mom suggested it's probably tie-dye! Ryder knows his daddy so well!)
