We do a lot of coloring around here these
days and it’s neat to watch Eve. She’s really good at holding
the crayon (almost always the right way) and coloring specific
parts of the picture. She doesn’t exactly stay within the
lines, but she’ll say “eyes!” and color just on the eyes. She’s
pretty precise. She can also make great straight lines. A lot
of her drawings are just a series of multi-colored vertical
lines.

The other day they were both at
the table and Lex had an activity book he was coloring in. At
one point he started saying random words and when I glanced
over his shoulder I realized he was doing a word search! I was
amazed! He found both horizontal and vertical words. Their
learning and development never ceases to amaze me!
