Whitney is completely in love with coloring. Any writing implement will do: pencil, pen, crayon (she'd probably love markers too, but we haven't gone that far). She has a stack of scrap paper that she takes pieces from and starts working away. The other day there were probably six different pages laying around the house and she would move from piece to piece adding a little here and there. It's really cute. She looks quite studious sometimes. Last night Grandma Hendershot was working on writing some cards, so Whitney sat on another chair at the table and worked on her own "writing". She did discover the wall as a canvas yesterday...thank goodness for the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser! As soon as I scolded her, she quickly moved back to her paper. Hopefully the paper will keep her occupied! I'm actually really impressed with her pencil grip; many of my students couldn't hold the pencil as well as she does. It took her a while to figure it out; at first she wanted to hold the end, so we worked on holding the pencil closer to the tip and she finally got it.

I too love the Mr. Clean Eraser. They work great. How fun to see Whitney growing up. Stefani tells me "I" and I finally figured out it meant write. She just wanted to do what Jeremy and Staci do.
Wow I am really impressed with her grip! It makes her look like a kindergartner! Way to go, mom.
