The one with the bath tub coloring

Our girls got totally spoiled by all the aunts and uncles and grandparents at Christmas time, and one of the fun little gifts they brought back was a pack of tub crayons. We opened them up last night and let them go to town with them, and they just had the best time. Teresa didn't want to get out of the tub, and it kept her from splashing most of the water out on us, so it was pretty win-win all around. Marc was able to get some cute shots of the girls.




Teresa very generously let Nora use only the green crayon.


She didn't seem to mind too much...

Nora has only recently started coloring (and by coloring, I mean making marks on paper with her crayons), so I wasn't sure if she would be able to figure out the tub crayons, but she didn't have any trouble.


She did all the green. She seems to be using her left hand quite a bit more than her right, and Marc is getting his hopes up that he will get a little lefty like himself. She was even able to give herself a green eye!


Teresa was really great about putting each color back when she was done using them. She's surprisingly organized for a two-year-old with our genes.


And then I just love Nora's little shifty-eyed look in this picture:

It was easy to spoil two lovely girls! What a great gift, bath tub caryons! It was nice of Teresa to let Nora use the best color. Great pictures of both girls, they are adorable. Did you let T clean the wall?
Love, Dad and Mom xoxoxoxo

These pictures are soooo amazingly cute! I love how much fun they both were having! The 3rd picture down... I love that one. T's hair, her expression looking back, little N's grin... awesome :) These ages work out well for the "specialized sharing." Right now N doesn't care that she ONLY gets the green crayon, but I'm sure that soon enough she will want to expand her empire. Also, a nice aunt and uncle sent us those SAME crayons! Okay, not the same ones, since that would be awkward and how would that even work? But the same type. They're very cool :D

Oh my Super Cuteness! I love the green eye one! and the last one with Nora's "shifty-eye" So many cute, fun pics! I'm so glad they like the crayons :0) We haven't tried ours yet, ironically enough...
Their faces are so angelic and so cute. Love it!
