Recently, I have come to the realization that my boys are no good at coloring.
They have no patience for it.
Generally they do a quick scribble and call it good.
Shockingly, they often get marked down for neatness in school!
In contrast, though, they all love to draw. Give any of them a blank piece of paper and some crayons and they go crazy!
I just can't relate to it. I will take coloring over drawing any day! (Just coming up with an idea of something to draw is a lot of pressure to me. I'm just not creative.)
I've decided that I need to fix this little situation, so I've been making the boys sit down and color with me.
It's a bit like torture.
Henry's has the hardest time. I make him not only slow down and color the entire area, but I also make him hold his crayon the way he is suppose to hold his pencil. Torture!
They are getting better, but I don't think I've convinced them that coloring really is fun and relaxing if you don't just rush through it!
