Kind of Like an Artist

On New Year's Eve, after our visit to the Winter Wonderland and before Ben had to leave for his gig in Evanston, Dex asked to do some painting. Santa brought Dexy a dinosaur painting book so we got that set up for him with some water and a paintbrush.

He really became engrossed in the process.

At one point, he said to us, "I am kind of like an artist." We told him he is exactly like an artist.He was so much like an artist that he insisted we hang up the paper towel he was using to dab his paints as the artistic product (rather than any of the actual dinosaur paintings)!

Box Blocks in the Basement

We transferred the box blocks to the basement and Dex is having even more fun with them down there (more stuff to play with on them!).

He said to Daddy, "I don't think Santa's elves made these box blocks! This one says 'Office Depot'!" Ben explained that because they were so big and would take up so much room in the sleigh maybe Santa picked them up near our house. That made sense to Dex.
