Oh, IN the Lines!

Justin and I were coloring today, and I decided to show him how I color inside of the lines and not just all over the page.  He looked at me like he had never even thought of that concept before.  I modeled a bit, including "accidentally" going outside of the lines without getting upset.  He decided to make a cherry blossom tree and he tried to stay in the lines too, though he showed me how it was okay when he went out of the lines too.

The pink parts are cherry blossoms, the green parts are leaves.  -The X in the tree tells you not to climb it.  At the bottom he tried to write "DONT GO" but it is hard to see because it is in yellow.  Not a child prodigy or anything, but not bad.  We will see if he continues to color within the lines or if he continues to color with multiple markers in each hand wherever they may land on the page.
