Colouring

If there's one gene Grace got from me (and I sometimes think it's only one) it's the arts and crafts gene. If the supplies are out and you stand still long enough there is a very good chance that you will leave covered in stickers, marker, pen and/or improvements made with scissors. (She can't actually cut anything with scissors but she knows the theory behind them)



Trying to be the good parents, we got Grace a colouring book that has a life size picture of what baby will look like at the end of each month. It also has a desciption of the different things baby can do. This month it has apparently learned to suck its thumb.
At the end of each month I crack out the colouring book while trying to explain to Grace how baby is doing. She still doesn't get it. She thinks there's a baby in her tummy and then gets mortally offended when we tell her otherwise. (At this rate we're never getting into a state-of-the-art nursery home.)
But she does love to colour. Today while colouring the closest thing to a picture of her baby sibling, Grace added stickers, crayons, markers and paint. So enhtusiastic was she that she emptied her entire craft box.
Later she spent over half an hour covering herself and mommy with Disney princess stickers
