Belated Birthday

So last Thursday, late in the day, Mama & I were just hanging out in the living room, when Papa showed up with that day's mail. In his hand was a little brown paper wrapped box. Somehow I just knew it was for me. I immediately got a big grin on my face and started giggling. Papa handed it to Mama and I headed straight for it and started patting it knowingly. Sure enough, it was a belated birthday present from my Aunt Diane, Uncle Rick and cousins Ben & Evan. We had alot of fun opening it...just watch:

In case you couldn't tell what the gift was, they were crayons that are designed for little hands like the ones I have and a drawing pad. First thing I did was clink them together which was fun, then I started trying to chew on the crayon part. Papa had just said that he thought I might be a little too young for them still and what did I do??? I put the crayon to the paper and made my first fabulous scribble. Mama started crying. She's silly that way. She's been excited about me and crayons for a long time now. Of course, as soon as I was done making a couple marks on the paper, not only did the crayons go back in my mouth, but I started gnawing on the drawing pad too...so, I'm still allowed to use both, Mama & Papa just need to be close by when I do.

So here it is, my very first "drawing". The more "perfect" looking scribbles are Mama's when she was showing me what to do with the crayons. But mine is the really fabulous blue one that kind of goes off the page at the top. Pretty nice huh? Mama is so proud!
