Welcome home

Last weekend, Ryan went out of town. He was due back on Monday so Ben and I decided (okay, just me) to make a sign for him. Ben was given My first markers for his birthday, and I thought this would be a good first time to use them.

We had three colors that are shaped kinda like an egg so they are easy for little hands to grab. They had no tops so of course, some color ended up other places.

  Ben did a great job holding them. Most of the color ended up on the sign. However, we had a drop cloth and are in a rental so I didn’t mind. 

In true child-fashion, Ben wanted to play with the permanent sharpie markers that I had used versus his own washable markers!

He repeatedly pointed out the cat and dog on his playmate. He points to the animals and says “this” to which I respond “a cat” or whatever it is he’s pointing to. He loves to go through his books and do the same thing. He now knows what the cow says and the dog. Our little man is going to be a chatterbox before we know it!

We finished our sign which Ryan loved. I enjoy doing projects like this with Ben. It gives us time to bond and enjoy each other. Looks like there may be plenty more signs in daddy’s future!
