The summer before us....

I have a bunch of stuff to add to our blog all about the month of May.  I finally downloaded pictures today, so I am one step closer! 
One thing that happened in May - Adam graduated from preschool.  Which means that our whole routine is up in the air - I was actually feeling pretty good about the way things were going, and now I've got to get my days re-organized!  Today was his first official day without school.  We did go in during the morning for an all-school clean up (it was a co-op program, so I'm kind of feeling like I graduated too!), but during the afternoon when Adam has normally been at school, he was home.  I put Jackson down for a nap and settled Adam into some quiet time with paper and markers so he could draw, and went in the other room to get some work done.  About 30 minutes later, I walked back into the room where Adam was, to find that he had done this to himself...

After the initial shock wore off, (he has never drawn all over himself before) I asked him what the heck he was doing and explained that we don't draw on our bodies.  He told me that he wanted to be an awesome super hero!  So, he drew blasters on the insides of his hands, and a cool disguise on his face and arms.  I even found out later that he had colored in some of his toenails and drew on his belly as well.  He went right into the shower after he promised that he would never draw on his body again.  I guess it's time to get some projects and stuff for him to do while Jackson naps in the afternoons.  Otherwise, it's gonna be a looooong summer!

I never realized kids might have a purpose in coloring on themselves! My are so young that when they do it, its just because they're scribbling on themselves. At least Adam knew what he was doing...
