scribbling

Sebastian has learned how to scribble, and is really really enjoying it.

The first material that really made sense to him was chalk, and so for the last three weeks he's been marking up sidewalks like nobody's business. I keep a box in the stroller, and he'll often reach for it when we're out together and start scritching on the pavement.

Last weekend at Stone Barns and the playground he started using stones and sticks to scratch in the dirt.

And finally, just this week, he's gotten the hang of crayons. For the longest time he just ate them. But now he gets that he's supposed to scribble, and he thinks it's fun. The only problem is that he most likes to scribble on the floors. So we've got crayon (brown, purple, and blue) all over the living room hardwood. I assume it's washable, but haven't yet tried. (Denial? Or just laziness?)
