Paper Legs?

Up until this morning, Jonathan was doing great with the whole coloring (well, OK, really “scribbling”) thing. He’s been much better about following the mantra we’ve been drilling since the first time he picked up a crayon - “only on the paper”. So this morning, when he sat down at the table and started coloring, once I checked and made sure he was putting crayon to paper, I turned around to make coffee. Just as I was turning back around to ask him if he wanted to push the button on the coffeemaker, Jonathan came running toward me pointing at his legs and shouting, “ORANGE, ORANGE!”

Either he forgot his mantra, or he decided that his legs were made of paper.

The worst part - those markers seem to be not so easy to wash off.
