Playing With Markers

   Since I am home with Connor during the week and he is getting a little older, I thought it would be a good idea to start doing crafts with him during the day. With that on my mind, I was able to find a few things for him when I went shopping today. I bought washable markers, easy to hold crayons, a tablet, and a smock. I would also like to make him some edible finger paints once I find a recipe.

After he woke up from his afternoon nap, I thought we should give it a try.We sat him in his high chair and moved it up to the table. Then, we let him choose which color he wanted to use first. He wanted all of them...

I was really surprised that he held the markers with his right hand since he uses his left so much more. He might prove us wrong and be a "righty" after all.

 Action shot!

He got the markers all over his hands and mouth, which was no big deal. I will forever buy washable markers because they wipe off so easily!

 He's my little Picasso in training.

 His finished product. It's beautiful, don't ya think?

     He got bored after about 10 minutes (I am pretty sure I was more excited then he was). Haha. After I put everything away, we went for a walk around the block. We didn't take the stroller since we weren't going too far. I am glad because he had a lot of fun walking by himself.

 He loves walking with a walking stick.

When we got back to our street, our neighbors came outside to see Connor and Kylie. They had a soccer ball, so Connor got really excited and wanted to play.

It wore him out, which is exactly what we were hoping for! :)
