B and the white crayon

What you do think of my new look? I don't know why, but I'm not liking it all that much. I think its bc I prefer a cleaner look. It will stay like this for now, but probably not too long.



Lately, Blake really loves to scribble on the couch, on the walls, and sometimes paper. So last night I opened the new box of crayons, he received at his birthday party, from great uncle Thomas. He was very excited. Though he has coloring and activity books,he wanted to write in my sketch journal. Its one of those little 5x4 fat spiral books. Light bulb goes off, and I go and get him one of the regular composition spiral books. He was happy.

I set him up at the end table, in his high chair and away he goes. Scribbles, scribbles, scribbles. Afterwards I found he did 3 pages plus the back cover. After he was finished coloring, he puts all his crayons away, except one, and hands me the package. I say "Blake where is the other one, one is missing, where is it'? He mumbles something that I cant understand. I look around and discover its the white one tha'ts missing. I retrieve it from the floor and hand it to Blake to put into the box. He takes the crayon, looks down at his master piece and throws it on the floor, again mumbling something. I pick it up again, and see that he had tried to color with this white crayon bearing down extremely hard,, with no results. Then second light bulb goes off. He was trying to tell me that one was broken and it didn't work so he doesn't want it in his box. I could see his little brain thinking jeez mom, cant you see that one is broken.
