Coloring Inside the Lines

For most of his young life Dexter has not been interested in coloring inside the lines. We have hundreds of his coloring creations that are simply a monochromatic wash of a single color across the whole page.

However, in the past few months Dex has really gotten into coloring what he calls "beautiful" pictures - that is, using multiple colors and trying to stay within the lines. He gets very focused when he's coloring now.

3D Bedtime Reading?

I was surprised when I walked by Dex's bedroom and saw him wearing his 3D glasses to read books before bed. Ben had chosen the 3D animal book.

I would not have selected such an exciting activity immediately before bed but Ben was in charge of getting Dexy down that night so I didn't worry about it. The two of them were having a grand old time jumping back from lunging wild animals.
