Easel

For Matthew's birthday, the members of my lab got together and bought him an art easel from Target. He received a number of other toys for his birthday/ Christmas so we just put this aside for awhile. I finally put it together last weekend and he loves playing with it. There is a roll of paper at the top that drapes down over the easel and a small shelf near the bottom that stores all his crayons. He is constantly coloring on it now. He is learning to draw circles and color inside the lines of larger objects that we draw for him. He is always trying to get us to color with him. He hands us crayons and points to the paper. This morning he was very upset when I had to pry him away so we could go to the babysitter. I think I will soon have to start teaching him science so I can balance out his education with his Mother's influence.
