In an attempt to encourage the development of Tess’s artistic abilities – since she has a genetic disadvantage in this area – we have been exposing her to various types of art media. You know, the important ones: crayons, markers, stickers and play-doh. Her current favorite is markers. I have no idea why, but she likes to put the marker in her mouth. And then she makes a yucky face. And then she puts it in her mouth again. And then she attempts to run around the house with the capless marker in her hand. Once I have convinced her to sit back down, she likes to practice putting the top on the marker. Then she asks me to take the top back off (by pulling on the top and grunting, then looking at me). And then she puts the top back on. And then… you get the picture. But it’s very sweet watching her figure out how things work – and whether or not they should be eaten.
