We busted out the chalk the other day due to the sunny weather and the fact that Joel wanted to work in the front yard.  Our adventure met with some success.  Nicholas scribbled on the side walk with chalk and demanded that I draw flowers everywhere.  He LOVES flower drawings.  Can’t get enough of them.  He’ll tell you “flower” which sounds a lot like “water” so I get a bit confused until he points to the paper, or the sidewalk in this instance.  If you don’t draw the flower in the right spot, he’ll guide the crayon to the appropriate location.  He is so cute about it.

Of course he wasn’t satisfied with just 4 pieces of chalk.  No, I had to open all 16 pieces for him to play with.

Now Dexter, he was more interested in walking past the chalk line I had drawn as a boundary point.  Not so interested in sitting down and drawing.  That kid is a boy on the move.

Here we see Dexter contemplating whether or not to stay put, like his mother strongly recommended, or to chase after the ball that had conveniently rolled out into the street.  Which path did Dexter decide upon???????
