Aidyn and I were sitting down working on a coloring activity from this week's lesson plan. I have a horrible tendency to be anal when coloring and constantly nudging Aidyn to color
in the lines. I know, I can be a real pain and should just let the kid color how he wants. I'm lucky he's even willing to color with me because until the last few months, crafting for him has been the equivalent of pulling teeth.
I accidentally let another, "Let's try coloring in the lines," when Aidyn slammed his hand on his paper, pointing to the border and said, "Mommy, the line is right here!"
Touché, Aidyn. Touché.
Thank you for reminding your Mommy it's all about perspective and there should be no rules when it comes to coloring.

long time reader, first (or maybe second) time commenter ;~) this was a fantastic post and made me chill with my little one a bit! thanks for the reminder (you and Aidyn ;~)
It's so true about perspective! I forget that sometimes.
That's one smart kid you've got there. I'll have to remember this one when I'm telling one of my kids to color in the lines.
