This is why you need a big sister.

In our house if you are 12 months old, 30 inches tall, and very curious, the most interesting person is Lauren. Mark has the potential to be interesting, but he has to get over his sharing issues first. Could take a while.

Katie watches everything Lauren does, and tries to copy her. On Wednesday night Lauren was coloring a picture at her little table and Katie wandered right up and began to investigate. Lauren had a big box of crayons and Katie helped herself to a green crayon. Instead of eating the crayon, as you would expect, she put the crayon to the paper Lauren was coloring, and began coloring, just as she had seen Lauren doing. I sat there is awe that, one she figured out what to do by watching Lauren, two she was holding a crayon and coloring, and three that she was just as good as Mark, maybe better.

After Lauren grew tired of coloring Katie dumped the entire box on the table and floor and had a great time playing with the crayons.

On Sunday I decided to let Katie play with crayons in Relief Society, and this is her master piece. It kept her entertained the entire time. The only problem was she kept walking over to the door and wanted to color on the door. I see lots of wall art in my future.
