Progress

A week ago, Baguette was coloring in broad swaths of marker. Now she can do this.

All.

By.

Herself.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s not this precise all the time. But she suddenly gets what the lines are for, and pays attention to them. She matches the colors of the characters, whether it’s Zoe or Clifford the Big Red Dog. She’s doing SO MUCH right now, and it’s incredible to see how all of the hard work we’ve been doing, all of the hard work she’s been doing, is helping things come together.

  1. I can’t remember how old Baguette is, but Nick (3) couldn’t begin to do this. We’re thrilled if his scribbles stay on the page. “We only draw on PAPER!” Repeat.

    1. Baguette will be 5 in April. She’s loved painting for quite some time, but the coloring is new. And there have been plenty of cries of “Paint stays on the paper!” Also, we paint outside.
