Dear Ethan,
This is your first art piece. You made it at Marisa's house. To be honest it hadn't even occured to me to give you crayons or paper to play with. I know you are growing up and everything, but I still think of you as my baby. And babies don't play with crayons! Babies eat crayons!
Okay, so you also eat crayons. Luckily we have the non-toxic, practically organic kind that are not a huge deal if you put them in your mouth every so often (which you do). But Ethan you are not a baby anymore. You are a big kid who loves to colour.
I love this picture. I love how you press really, really hard on the crayons and put lots of colours on the paper. And I really love how you can tell where Marisa taped the edge down to the high chair to help keep you focused on colouring and not on throwing the paper onto the floor (which you are known to do sometimes). I especially love how Marisa rounds the corners of the paper. That is such a special touch.
I hope we have many years together doing arts and crafts, Ethan.
Love,
Mama
