Coloring Inside the Lines


Some might say coloring inside the lines is boring and limits one's creative spirit. While it is not exactly a necessary life skill to be able to color inside of lines, I had to post about Nicholas' coloring progression. Last year at this time, this sweet red-haired child of mine would whimper at the mention of a crayon, a "craft" project, writing task, or anything else which used his fine motor skills. Last week, in his free time, without prompting, he pulled a coloring book out of the drawer actually used it. When I looked at his work, I was stunned. Was this my child? Seriously. He colored the entire page....and inside the lines. That is what I call progress.
