Magic Marker Monday: James the Scribbler

James is just starting to play with pencils and markers for fun. Two weeks ago I found my pad of telephone message paper covered with his doodles. One on every page -- nice! His sister did this when she was 2.

The other day, he produced this masterpiece:


He has made great progress with holding markers and spoons. He can draw straight lines pretty well now, but needs more practice drawing circles. I've also bought a huge pad of drawing paper for him. He adores it! He tends to get excited when creating and his arm sails right off the page. Ai-yi-yi, the marker mess cleanups!

I love it.
