Only on Paper

From the moment that Kenna started using crayons, etc, Daniel has beat into her head the mantra of "you only color on paper." She will even tell you as she colors that you are only supposed to color on paper. And, up until Friday, she has always done exactly that.

Daniel wasn't quite home from work yet, Dane was sitting in the high chair finishing up his dinner, and Kenna Beth was enjoying her art work. She L.O.V.E.S. to color and paint. I was on call for the weekend and had already spent almost 20 min on the phone with a patient trying to explain what we were going to do to fix her broken knee cap and elbow. I guess that 15 min was about all the Kenna could handle of "being good while Mommy talks on the phone" and those last 5 minutes apparently just called out for self decoration.

She did a pretty good job.....

These pictures were taken after she was released from time-out when Daddy got home. I love the faces! She has already told me several times (and Mimzi on the phone) that from now on she will only color on paper.
I guess it was bound to happen, right?

Yep, that's not paper! We have the same coloring mantra around here. The only time that Ethan has gone "off paper" was about a year ago when he colored on the wall at the top of the stairs. Such a cliche, but it happens!
