Well, Asa has become completely entranced with coloring. They both love to color, so I went and bought them their own colored pencils in little metal cases, so they could take them with us on trips, to restaurants, etc. Well, Asa started on a picture two days ago, a single page in a coloring book. He has been working on it diligently... hours a day. The boy has such a hard time sitting still, but I have watched as he focuses and colors. When he starts to get antsy he will say, "I need to take a break!" and do a lap around the house or bounce on the couch, and then come back and start again. I am impressed.
Addison has learned from Asa how to color in the lines, which is awsome! He's also learned to hold his pencil correctly... although unlike Asa, he uses his left hand. I love to see them learn from each other in a way other than learning how to kick their underwear onto the top of the kitchen cabinets or teaching each other how to tie Daddy's shoe laces into a ratnest. It took Asa three days to complete his masterpiece... and he was as proud as I told him he would be!
