Walker's Pictures

Walker is really getting into "coloring" on blank pieces of paper and then telling me what he colors or what the picture "says." Oftentimes it says, "I love you playing choo-choos with me" and "I love Thomas videos" or "I love Emmy and Tuck."  And no, he doesn't draw pictures or write words...he just kinda scribbles, but he scribbles with a purpose. Not surprisingly, he's very specific about what he colors and what I color and what color markers we use and how we draw on the paper. For example, I drew an elephant on his paper and he got upset. I am supposed to draw "normal things" (i.e. lines and scribbles) not "other things" (i.e. the elephant) and only he can draw "dots" and he doesn't want to have his name on the paper. (He has ZERO interest in trying to write his name. He can spell it, but ask him to try to write it or trace it...no way.) Anyway, as in all things, he's particular about the way he colors. And apparently he's "great at putting on tops" but I am not. I need to work on capping my markers and putting them away. ;)

See? Scribbling with a purpose. There were specific instructions given to me about how to color this piece of paper and what colors I needed to use.

And an example about what his picture "says."
