Selah Juney has developed a love of music and “creative time” at school. We knew that she loved all things musical, but her affinity for coloring has only intensified since starting at St. Luke’s. When we went to Grammy’s this weekend, she had a spectacular set of “colors” (also known as crayons and markers). Selah June loved all the options and the beautiful clear plastic cylindrical container that held them all.

Our markers are all dried up because we like to take all the tops off.  Mommy and Daddy decided to take Selah June on an adventure to get some more colors. We went to Target expecting a good selection, and they had the exact same set!!!!

Here she was just seconds before making our discovery. She was on a clear mission.  This little cuckoo bird knew what she wanted and blazed a trail right through Target to find it.

Then we had to look for some good paper!

As soon as we got home, she wanted to get out her “colors.” We had to recreate the perfect coloring experience we had at Grammy’s house.

At first she wanted to have several markers available without their caps at the same time. But Daddy put a quick stop to that.

This is definitely her favorite thing at this moment. She even likes to work on collaborative masterpieces, claiming anything someone else draws as her own and sometimes even allowing contributions to her papers as well.

I love that she loves to color. I can’t wait to spend lazy days being artsy and crafty together. And I can’t wait to decorate our home with all of the eclectic “projects” those special moments create.
