Since Grandma and Grandpa gave her this great easel for her birthday, Franny has become a budding artist. One side is a chalkboard that we cover with paper so she can use crayons (better variety of colors--especially pink!) and the other side is a whiteboard that she can use washable markers on. She absolutely loves it and it's fun to see her so enthusiastic about something new and very different than other things she likes to do.
Now, after breakfast, it's the first thing she wants to do, and throughout the day she is constantly asking for crayons, markers, or some particular color to draw with. Letters and shapes seem to be her favorite genre, right now. She will draw in big sweeping motions, look at me and say "Z"! or "circle!" It is a lot of fun, but is definitely something that requires continuous supervision. I have found that if I get distracted with something else, she inevitable emerges with her body and mouth covered with green, purple, or whatever color she happens to be working with.

Oh my! You are a brave mama to let her run wild with markers. I love watching their creativity blossom at this age. Thomas will draw random lines and tell me it's a fire engine or wheelbarrow. Such imagination!
