Jonas has taken a rabid interest in art. He is quite prolific. When I pick him up at daycare, he has about 8 pages of artwork to take home with him. Though some of it involves stamping, he prefers raised stencils; he makes rubbings using crayons. We've started organizing all of it with sheet protectors in a binder so he can flip through and look at it. I'm struggling with my urge to recycle at least some of the 24 copies of a barn scene in brown. His favorite crayons are ones brought to him by Noni in a special truck carrier. They don't have a paper wrapper and are triangular. I think the shape make them easier to grasp.
His teachers let him borrow the stencils from school. When I helped him understand that there was a scene on one side and a pattern on the back, he was fascinated. He didn't know what a pattern was, and continues to pronounce it like Padawan.
Speaking of Star Wars, he has green light saber shoes and a cheaper pair of red Lightening McQueen shoes. Gill has light up shoes as well....red fire trucks. Recently, Jonas enjoys wearing one green shoe and one red one. People notice - you'd be surprised. I tell people that he's a clown in training.
On the food scene, Jonas has discovered miniature bagels, and loves them with whipped cream cheese. But his favorite food remains the corn dog. Gill likes them too but peels off the breading, eating just the "dog." Gill occasionally eats bananas like one would eat corn on the cob. He also enjoys fish pills - not swallowing them, chewing them. Yes, he eats fish oil, straight. We try to give him baths on those nights. He smells like a little sardine after a feeding frenzy of fish oil.
